AB The horsechestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is one of the most popular shade trees in central Europe. Although it was introduced only 400 years ago from southeast Europe, at least 20,000 horsechestnuts grow in Vienna and its environs. The horsechestnut was a tree species with few health problems (e.g., Guignardia aesculi Ascomycetes) until the leafminer Cameraria ohridella was imported—first to Macedonia and later on to central Europe. The origin, biology, damage, population dynamics, natural limitation factors, economic impact, management options, and control of C. ohridella are discussed.
