Sažetak
In 2009, beds of Buxus sempervirens and newly planted B. sempervirens ‘Suffruticosa’ in a park in Opatija, Croatia, showed extensive leaf and twig blight. Leaves with dark roundish spots turned red-brown and grey and dropped. Shoots and stems had dieback with narrow blackish streaks on the bark surface. Two widely occurring fungal pathogens of Common box, Volutella buxi and Puccinia buxi, were sporulating abundantly on the diseased plants. However, the presence of dark spots on the leaves and blackish streaks on the bark revealed Cylindrocladium buxicola. This was the first report of new pathogen on Common box from Croatia.
