Serious fruit and heart rots of coconut were found on the major Hawaiian islands of Kauai, Oahu, Hawaii and Maui. Early symptoms included dark fruit rots and the premature loss of young nuts. A Phytophthora sp. was consistently associated with fruit rots. There was a high association of fruit rots and subsequent heart rot followed by tree death. Fruit and heart rots were reproduced by inoculations. The causal organism resembled P. katsurae, but its identification remains undetermined.
