P. ramorum in Washington nurseries

A Snohomish County wholesale/production nursery was confirmed P. ramorum positive on May 27th during an Annual Compliance Inspection. The nursery was previously positive in 2008 and 2010. The Confirmed Nursery Protocol, including delimitation of all stock and collection of trace-forward and trace-back information is underway. Though they are under compliance agreement as an interstate host shipper, the nursery has not made an interstate shipment in the past 12 months. Positive species include Mahonia aquifolium, Gaultheria shallon and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi.
