Trophy Club trees that have been infected by this disease show early leaf shedding as well brown and yellow leaves. They also wilt and can even die. This resistant fungus survives in dry soil for extended periods. However, the disease-carrying fungal spores multiply rapidly and thrive best in moist, cool weather.

Standing water is a contributor to the spread of Phytophthora. In addition, soil that has been irrigated often is infected. Trophy Club had a variety in weather, which contributed to the rapid development of the disease. Arborists are well-acquainted about the numerous signs and indicators.

Diagnosis and treatment of Phytophthora

It is difficult and time-consuming to determine if Phytophthora is a disease. The visible and underground parts of a tree must be examined and tested by an experienced plant pathologist. Visible signs include cankers growing on the trunk. This causes slimy, wet skin and a brownish interior. Additional signs of the disease include mites and insects. Trophy Club trees may not be able to show symptoms until the summer months.
