Literature on pathogens observed on lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta var. latifolia S. Wats.) grown in Finland is briefly reviewed. Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. and Scleroderris lagerbergii Gremmen appear to cause the most serious damage. Lachnellula subtilissima (Cke.) Dennis, Crumenulopsis sororia (Karst.) Groves and Sclerophoma pityophila (Corda) v. Höhn. cause damage less frequently. The majority of over 300 stands have reached an age of 40–60 years and their health is described as satisfactory to good.
