Septoria found in BC on hybrid poplar

Sept 24- 2007
Septoria musiva (a severe leaf spot and stem canker) has been found on
hybrid poplar in commercial stool beds in the Frasier Valley of British
Colombia. This is a pathogen not known to be in U.S. PNW and has the
potential to impact hybrid poplar health and the trade of growing stock
(including cuttings) entering and leaving Washington.
