Abstract

Tree breakage after high velocity winds and storms was studied in New Forest campus. It was found that canker rots caused by Ganoderma applanatum and Phellinus pachyphloeus are mainly responsible for the tree breakage. Early detection and removal of such hazard trees is advocated to avoid loss of life and property.
