Abstract This Order implements measures to prevent the introduction and spread of the pest Phytophthora ramorum, a fungus which is not established in Scotland. It regulates the importation and movement into and within Scotland 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. This Order restricts the importation of a number of plant genera, including Rhododendron and Viburnum directly from the USA by requiring that such imports be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate which confirms that the material originates from a location which is officially recognised in the USA as free from the pest.
