The first symptom of canker on Todo‐fir appears in spring, although infection of current year shoots by spores must be established early in the growing season of the previous year. Isolation experiments demonstrated the presence of dormant infection of the causal fungus in the shoots and invasion of new bark tissues under snow cover during the winter.
