Tree affected by Phytophthora lateralis - select this image to enlarge

Earlier this year, an outbreak of P. lateralis was confirmed on Lawson cypress trees in Tollymore Forest. The disease, caused by a pathogen known as Phytophthora lateralis, infects tree roots which come into contact with spores in the soil or water, and kills most Lawson cypress trees it infects. Users of forests are asked to observe signage and remain on the way marked paths.
