- Abstract
Summary In a greenery trial of Nobel fir (Abies procera ) in western Norway, most branches had good quality until 1994 when 31% of the branches were discarded. Since then a high level of losses has been noted and 87% were discarded in 2000. A survey in 1998 revealed that the needle blight fungus Delphinella abietis was the main cause. It seems that frost did not initiate or maintain the disease in the stand, but generally low temperatures may have been important. Discarded branches with the fungus have been left on the ground and have probably been important in maintaining a high level of attack.
