Read the guide →Species profiles with diseases, pests, cultivar resistance data, and site requirements.
Pathogens, host associations, causal agents, and regional management notes.
Non-pathogenic conditions — environmental stress, nutrient issues, chemical injury, and physiological disorders.
Invasive and noxious weed species with WA state classification, identification, ecology, and control methods.
Insects, mites, and other organisms with biology, host data, and IPM strategies.
Natural enemies with target pests, habitat needs, and conservation biocontrol strategies.
Soil series with drainage, pH, texture, plant suitability, and USDA-NRCS data.
Technical horticulture terms defined for the field, with links to guides where they appear.
Species with the highest number of documented disease and pest associations in the library. More connections means more to watch for - and more management decisions per season.
Pathogens affecting the most species in the library.
Organisms documented across the most host plants.
Profiles with the most cultivar-specific resistance and performance data - useful for making informed variety selections.
Active Project
This library grows through continuous data collection and verification. Profiles start with identity and host associations, then deepen with site data, phenological timing, cultivar performance, and regional management notes. Each dimension is sourced from extension research and field observation.
Every profile carries a maturity tier reflecting how much verification it's received. You'll see this as a four-segment meter on each profile page.
Baseline
Bulk-imported from authoritative databases. Accurate identity, no human review yet.
Structured
Synthesized from multiple sources. Conflicts surfaced, data organized coherently.
Expert-Reviewed
Reviewed by a credentialed arborist. Regional context verified for local use.
Field-Verified
Expert-reviewed plus validated with original field observations from this region.
Profile data drawn from 40+ registered sources including university extension databases, federal plant inventories, and original field observations. Full methodology →
