The reported hosts include Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Sugar Maple (A. saccharum), Mountain Maple (A. spicatum), Red Alder (Alnus rubra), Speckled Alder (A. incana subsp. rugosa), serviceberries (Amelanchier), American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), Sweet-fern (Comptonia peregrina), American Hazelnut (Corylus americana), American Beech (Fagus grandifolia), American Witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), American Hop-hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Choke Cherry (Prunus virginiana), an oak (Quercus), Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), Red Currant (Ribes rubrum), brambles (Rubus), willows (Salix), Hillside Blueberry (Vaccinium pallidum) and a viburnum (Viburnum). - View
