Old grown southern beech forest surrounds Lake Sylvan near Glenorchy in New Zealand's Southern Alps. After some infection some trees developed abnormal growth called "galls" or canker. Elin alter Südbuchenwwald wächst an den Ufern des Sylvan-Sees in der Nähe von Glenorchy in den Südalpen Neuseelands. Auf seltene Infektionen reagieren manchen Südbuchen mit abnormen Wachstum. Diese Wucherungen werden als "Pflanzengallen" oder auch "Baumkrebs" bezeichnet.
