In New Zealand it is a wound pathogen causing the disease commonly known as black rot (Cunningham, 1925a). Cunningham (1925a) recorded it as causing a leaf spot and a fruit rot, but stem cankers are formed only following some injury to the bark. It is especially common on apple trees. It is of economic importance in the apple-growing areas, especially in the South Island.

Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Wanganui, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Nelson, Mid Canterbury.; 1st Record: Waters (1917: as Diplodia griffoni).
