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.
Type: Caulicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata pycnidial, aggregated, subepidermal at first, becoming erumpent, globose, black, up to 0.4 mm in diameter; on twigs, leaves, and fruit. Conidia cylindrical, 0-septate (occasionally 1-septate), 20–26 × 10–16 µm, apex obtuse, verruculose, brown.
Distribution: Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Nelson.; 1st Record: Cunningham (1921).
Notes: This species was synonymised under a broad concept of Botryosphaeria quercuum (Schweinitz) Saccardo in earlier literature (Laundon 1977).
Significance: Only the anamorph is known in New Zealand. A wound pathogen associated with, but not necessarily the primary cause of, stem cankers, leaf spots, and fruit rot in fruit trees.; Host(s): Cydonia oblonga, Malus ×domestica, Pyrus communis, Quercus ilex, Rubus idaeus, Rubus × (hybrid berry).
