ponderosa and Jeffrey pines,
Virginia pine, and loblolly pine,
according to Dr. William Merrill,
associate professor of plant
pathology at The Pennsylvania
State University.
The fungus forms round galls
on twigs, branches, and main

present in Scotch pine plantations
in McKean and Columbia
counties, Dr. Merrill says. It has
been found as far south as
Garrett County, Maryland. He
indicates it is probably present in
other areas of the Com
monwealth and on other two and
three-needled hard pines.
The only control of the disease
in Scotch pine plantations is to
weed out and burn infected trees.
At present there are no recom
mended fungicidal controls.
The fungus does not require an
alternate host but causes
repeated reinfections on the pine.
Thus, disease can intensify
greatly in a few year’s time in an
affected plantation.
