In 1979, five ornamental Austrian pines with symptoms of Scleroderris canker were found near St. John’s, Newfoundland. Cultural and serologic characteristics of the isolates characterized the pathogen as the European race of Gremmeniella abietina. The pathogen has not been found elsewhere on the island, but further surveys are planned.
