Summary Bacteria were isolated from necrotic lesions on a horse chestnut tree ( Aesculus hippocastanum ) with bleeding canker in Hamburg, Germany. Sequencing of the rDNA‐ITS region revealed great similarity to pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae . Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi was identified by sequence homology of the gyrase B gene. This is the first report of P. syringae pv. aesculi in Germany. Phytophthora was not detected.
