More likely around here... 263A - Northern California Coast Armillaria root disease and Douglas-fir engraver beetle killed pole-sized Douglas-fir at the west end of Willits (Mendocino County), and at the west end of Salmon Creek drainage in Humboldt County. Armillaria also attacked a few Douglas-fir weakened by Timema douglasi defoliation on Rainbow ridge (Humboldt County). Many planted Douglas-fir seedlings were killed near Gualala (Mendocino County). 263A - Northern California Coast Flatheaded fir borer combined with Douglas-fir beetle to kill Douglas-fir northwest of Willits and near Gualala, Mendocino County. In Humboldt County, the borer combined with Armillaria root disease to kill Douglas-fir at the west end of the Salmon Creek drainage. fs.fed.us DERMEA CANKER, caused by Dermea pseudotsugae and PHOMOPSIS CANKER, caused byPhomopsis lokoyaeMany pole-size and larger Douglas-fir in the interior, dry portions of Mendocino, Humboldt and LakeCounties had branch and stem cankers caused by Dermea pseudotsugae. In addition to Dermea canker,Douglas-firs of all sizes had stem and branch cankers attributed to Phomopsis lokoyae. Many of thetrees were also attacked and killed or top-killed by the Douglas-fir engraver. Cankers also were foundon the main stem of a small number of declining young Douglas-fir in a plantation near Lake Prairie inthe upper Redwood Creek drainage, Humboldt County (263A). The pathogens Dermea pseudotsugaeand/or Phomopsis lokoyae were likely causes for these cankers. Drought in previous years is a likely contributing factor. 66.102.7.104
