A serious disease of Pines (Pinus) that has only recently arrived in this country following the wind-blown spread of its spores across Europe.
It attacks the living needles causes Dothistroma needle-blight (AKA Red-band needle-blight) resulting in the loss of all except the current year’s needles.
In the UK, Corsican Pine (Pinus nigra subsp. salzmannii var. corsicana) and Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta) are the main species affected. In heavily infected plantations the defoliation is so severe that nettles and other plants are able to form an understorey in what would otherwise be dense shade.
