The pathology of our native larch, Larix laricina (Du Roi) Koch, has never been carefully investigated in the province of Quebec. One of the explanations of this apparent lack of interest in diseases of this tree species is the very important infestation by the larch sawfly (Pristiphora Erichsonii Htg.), which, at the beginning of the present century, greatly reduced the best stands of larch in Northeast America. Usually the Eastern larch, commonly called tamarack, provides a hard, heavy and non-porous wood of high technical value. Its resistance to decay outweighs any other conifer of Eastern and Central Canada (2).
