%X <p>A ten-year old stand of hybrid aspen (<em>Populus tremula</em> x<em> Populus tremuloides</em>), growing in Southern Finland on about 1.5 ha of <em>Oxalis-Myrtillus</em> type (OMT) soil and affected by crown blight, was examined in 1971. The study revealed that almost all trees, both those removed by thinning and the remaining growing stock, were decayed. A number of bacteria, <em>Fungi imperfecti</em> species and ascomycetous fungi were isolated from the discoloured heartwood of the affected trees. No fungus of the <em>Bacidiomycetes</em> was found in the discoloured wood material.</p>
