Abstract
New perennial canker diseases of Abies veitchii and Acer crataegifolium are described. Pathogenicity of the causal fungus was confirmed on stems of young Abies and Acer trees using two monoascospore isolates from the perithecia from the two tree species. The causal fungus, producing Nectria-state-teleomorph and Cylindrocarpon-anamorph, was identified as Nectria castaneicola. It was then transferred to the genus Neonectria, as N. castaneicola (W. Yamam. et Oyasu) Tak. Kobay. et Hirooka, comb. nov. followed by the recent concept of Nectriaceae.
