Pest Links: Phytophthora ramorum Information: Sudden Oak Death

Except for Red Oak and Lilac, no other plants grown by Dave Wilson Nursery are on the list of hosts or associated hosts for Phytophthora ramorum. Dave Wilson Nursery is not located in or near any region affected, nor do we incorporate any potential by-products of the affected hosts.

Dave Wilson Nursery maintains thorough records on all sources of propagated material and we are vigilant in our monitoring program for all pathogens. No relationship between Phytophthora ramorum and bareroot nursery stock has been established.

The sites listed on this page have the most current research and information. Dave Wilson Nursery, in cooperation with all California wholesale nurseries, APHIS/USDA, CDFA and CANGC is striving to maintain confidence in all nursery stock grown in California.
