Hello colleagues,

Our plant disease clinic here in Columbus, Ohio, has been observing 
higher incidence of Phomopsis spp. associated with tip dieback in 
spruce (both Norway and Colorado blue spruce) in the last few years, 
whereas the usual culprit used to be cytospora in the past.

Has anyone else observed the same?  We are just wondering if this is 
something worth following up.

Thanks!
Enrico
