The spots get bigger and grow into one big brown spot. Eventually, the needles turn completely brown. Interestingly, since only the infected needles turn brown, so both healthy and infected needles can occur on one branch.<br>\nThe fungus thrives under humid conditions, with the needles remaining wet for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>A similar fungus <em>Kaba<wbr><\/wbr>tina juniperi<\/em> causes needle blight on Juniperus spp. in North America.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Where to find&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1666775895391{padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Western red cedar <i>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/thuja\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Thuja is a conifer native to North America that belongs to the cypress family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=\"middle\" css=\".vc_custom_1627123481876{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #ccffff !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}\" el_id=\"mobile\"][vc_column offset=\"vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1627123409680{padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}\" el_id=\"mobiel\"] You are viewing the mobile-adapted version of the page.
