Truncatella angustata has been linked with grapevine trunk disease in northern Iran.^[3] Neopestalotiopsis, Pestalotiopsis and Truncatella fungal species (all in family Sporocadaceae) are associated with grapevine trunk diseases in France.^[4] It also causes canker and twig dieback in blueberry plants.^[5]
