The first signs of infection that can be seen are yellow and brown spots that develop on the living needles, [7] [8] which soon turn red. This infection starts on the base of the crown on older needles, which then turn a brownish red at the tip, while the rest of the needle remains green. [ 9 ]
The most infected needles are prematurely shed by December. Because the infected needles are within the interior of the tree, the newer needles on the outer surface of the pines are flushed green and resistant to the disease. However, the premature shedding of needles in the interior can extend outwards leading to a loss in overall growth.
The bands start yellow but turn brown/red and can become purple with spots on the upper or lower surface of the needle. [3] Signs of Rhabdocline pseudotsugae include apothecia that mature below epidermis where swelling is visible. These fruiting bodies are present on the underside of needles.

The species is traditionally known as Meria laricis.Meria was first described by Jean Paul Vuillemin (Vuill.) in France in 1896. [1] DNA analysis in the 1990s indicated its closest ancestor was the Rhabdocline genus, with the similarity significant enough for the genera of Meria, Hartigiella, and Rhabdocline to be combined as synonyms, with Rhabdocline chosen as the name of the merged genus.
Needles of a conifer infected with Scleroderris canker. There are two strains of the fungus in existence, the North American and European. The latter is more virulent, capable of infecting an entire tree and killing it over a few years time, whereas the North American strain limits itself to the first few metres of the stem. [4]
In Gibberella stalk rot, the leaves on early-infected plants will turn a dull greyish-green, and the lower internodes will soften and turn a tan to dark-brown. A pink-red discoloration occurs within the stalks of diseased tissue. Shredding of the pith may reveal small, round, black perithecia on the stalks. [7]
