[IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] Distribution of Cercostpora blight of junipers

Greetings! Recently I was contacted by Dr. Chuck Hodges, retired US Forest Service Pathologist, regarding his revision of the Forest Diseases Nursery Diseases in the United States chapter on Cercospora Blight of Junipers. Dr. Hodges is looking for updates on distribution and hosts of Passalora sequoiae (formerly Cercospora sequoiae). The original chapter lists distribution as "most of the southern United States and as far north as Pennsylvania". If you have any reports of this pathogen outside this general area, please forward to Dr. Hodges at: charles_hodges(a)ncsu.edu Thanks! /s/ Borys Tkacz <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Borys M.
