PLANT HEALTH

This Order implements measures to prevent the introduction and spread of the pest Phytophthora ramorum, a fungus which is not established in the United Kingdom. It regulates the importation and movement into and within Northern Ireland of plant material identified as susceptible to the pest, believed to cause Sudden Oak Death syndrome in certain species of oak in the USA, and harm to Rhododendron, Viburnum and other plants.
