Abstract
Serious fruit and heart rots of coconut have been found on the major Hawaiian islands of Kauai, Oahu, Hawaii, and Maui. Early symptoms are dark fruit rots and premature loss of young nuts. A Phytophthora species is consistently associated with fruit rots. There is 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 resembles Phytophthora katsurae, but its identification remains undetermined
