Abstract
Evidence from the assessment of two large European larch ( Larix decidua Mill.) provenance experiments replicated on a number of sites in England, Wales, and Scotland, and from other observations, suggested that: ( a ) Larch canker was not caused by frost, but was probably due to primary infection by the fungus Trichoscyphella willkommii (Hart.) Nannf. ( b ) Scottish provenances of European larch were more susceptible to canker and dieback than were Carpathian provenances, ( c ) Canker and epidemic dieback of European larch were unrelated phenomena, although the relative susceptibility of the provenances examined was similar for both conditions.Keywords
