A method has been developed for studying the history of attack by Tomicus piniperda L. in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands. Attacks in a stand were dated by means of external evidence on living shoots and young branches, and from anatomical evidence in older shoots. The method revealed that Tomicus outbreak was associated with epidemics caused by Gremmeniella abietina. The role of Tomicus in the decline of a G. abietina infected stand is discussed
