This Leaflet is a guide to the identification of decays in conifers for both foresters and arboriculturists. The Leaflet summarises information on the main decay organisms found on conifers in Britain and is a companion volume to Arboricultural Leaflet 5: Common Decay Fungi in Broadleaved Trees. A guide to the susceptibility of the commonly planted conifers to the six most frequently encountered decays is given in Table 1. The information is based mainly on observational evidence gathered by the staff of the Forestry Commission's Pathology Branch over the past 20 years.
