Base of huge Kauri (Agathis australis) tree in native bush, Waiau Kauri Grove off Road 309, Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand
Kauri trees that have survived logging and clearances are now threatened by Kauri Dieback, a forest disease caused by the a filamentous fungus-like (oomycete, oomycota) pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida. Signs include rotting of the roots and a collar around the base of the tree, resin seeping from the trunk, and yellowing of the leaves, followed by extensive defoliation and ultimately death.
