Abstract
A die-back of Terminalia ivorensis (A. Chev.) is causing widespread damage to this valuable timber species in plantations throughout the tree's natural range in Ghana and Ivory Coast. In this article the characteristic symptoms of T. ivorensis die-back and other relative information are provided. Surveys in both countries show that abnormally chlorotic and diminutive leaves are the first obvious indicators of die-back followed by leaf fall and die-back of branches. Staining of sapwood is commonly found in affected trees and this is usually closely associated with the presence of a fungus of the genus Endothia (Fr.).
