Examination of European blueberry (EB) populations from different latitudes in Norway revealed differences in growth, fruit yield and fruit quality. Subpopulations from latitude 61, 64 and 69°N (respectively south, mid and north of Norway) showed different growth patterns when they were grown under similar conditions. The EB tended to grow longer shoots in 2009 at intermediate fertilization in  half-cultivated forest fields fertilized in 2008 and 2009, while shoot number was not influenced by fertilization. Berry size and fruit yield in forest fields was not influenced by fertilization neither in 2008 nor in 2009. However, there were differences in yield between locations in both years and between soil conditions in 2008. Fertilized seedlings sawn in March 2008 and planted on farm land in July the same year, grew larger plants  in 2009 compared with no fertilization, but developed no flowers. Content of sugar, anthocyanins, total phenols, and antioxidants was higher in Mid- and North - Norway compared to samples from the south in  2008  . Fruit quality parameters changed from early to late harvest in the ripening period (only samples from South Norway). Sugar content was highest at the early maturation stage, while anthocyanin levels were highest in the mid-harvest period and then declined.  Antioxidant levels increased at later harvest dates, and data was clearly correlated with total phenol content but not with anthocyanins.

In 2009, Phytophthora cambivora was isolated from a bleeding beech in Bergen and Ph. plurivora from one in Stavanger. Ph. cambivora has previously been found on noble fir (Abies procera) in Norway and Ph. plurivora on rhododendron (Rhododendron spp.). In Stavanger, Ph. plurivora was also isolated from Norway maple (Acer platanoides) standing adjacent to the infected beech.

The content of bioactives in strawberries was affected by climatic conditions. Cultivars reacted differently. Anthocyanins were enhanced in strawberries from southern regions. Dry matter and soluble solids was enhanced in northern regions.

Chalara fraxinea, causing ash dieback, was detected on common ash (Fraxinus excelcior) in Norway in May 2008, and is currently causing severe dieback of young and old trees in lower regions from south eastern to south western Norway. The Norwegian Food Safety Authorities have issued restrictions concerning movement of ash plants to non affected areas. At the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, a tree trial was recently established with the aim of selecting tree species for landscaping that are suitable for the Norwegian climate. Common ash is represented with two seed sources; Uppsala (Swedish) and Sauherad (Norwegian). In addition, the following ash species and cultivars are represented; green ash (F. pennsylvanica ‘Cimmzam", and F. pennsylvanica ‘Zundert"), narrowleaf ash (F. angustifolia ‘Raywood", syn. F. oxycarpa ‘Raywood"), and flowering ash (F. ornus ‘Mecsek"). By June 2010, they were all suffering from ash dieback except F. ornus ‘Mecsek". Due to severe dieback, F. excelcior ‘Nana" (‘Globosa") was removed from the trial in 2009.

Internasjonal handel med planter er omfattande, og skadegjerarar fylgjer ofte med på lasset. Spesielt problematiske er artar i slekta Phytophthora som spreier seg til stadig nye område i verda. I skogsområde i sørvest England er det for tida ein epidemi som fører til masseøydelegging av lerk. Inntil nyleg kjente vi berre til Phytophthora-angrep på ulike jord- og hagebrukskulturar her i landet, men i 2009 vart det også funne symptom på bøk, lønn og bjørk i eit skogholt i Stavanger.

Det er svært vanleg å bruka bark og flis til dekking mot ugras, som underlag på gangstiar eller anna i grøntanlegg. Dersom barken og flisa ikkje er varmkompostert, kan honningsopp (Armillaria spp.) fylgja med på lasset. Dette er ein vanleg skadegjerar i skog, spesielt på gran, men også i grøntanlegg gjer denne soppen meir skade enn mange er klar over.

I 2009 vart det funne mørke flekkar på stammane på fleire spisslønn, ein bøk og ei bjørk ved Byhaugen i Stavanger. Slike flekkar er typiske symptom ved angrep av Phytophthora-artar, og vert ofte omtala som blødande sår. På dei to førstnemnde tre-artane vart det stadfesta at skadane skuldast rotråte på grunn av Phytophthora plurivora. Sjukdomen er kjent frå fleire land i Europa, der han vert sett på som ein stor trussel både i skog og andre økosystem.

Two female and two male cultivars have previously been released as a result of clone evaluation at Bioforsk Nord Holt. Selection criteria have been number of pistils or stamens per flower, number of flowers and number of shoots per m2. Currently a new group of clones are evaluated with the aim of finding new cultivars for release. The clones are collected from different parts of Norway, as well as from England and Spitsbergen. Preliminary results from harvesting 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 indicate good production potential for some of the tested clones. In addition to prior selection criteria based on berry yield, the levels of total anthocyanins and total phenols have been analyzed. This includes studies on the role of female clone, male pollinator and temperature on berry quality.
