Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae was recorded on olives (Olea europaea) for the first time in South Australia in March 2001 from a property approximately 30 km south of Adelaide, South Australia. The bacterium was recovered from sunken brown stem lesions on 2-year-old olive trees cv. Barnea. In the following season from December 2001, further infections were observed on 3-year-old trees of the same cultivar in an adjacent planting on the same property, with branch death occurring on many of the affected trees.
