Yes, it was on a Robinia standing in the verge of a road between two towns near the city of Utrecht in 1999.

In The Netherlands it is mostly documented from beech and a few times from oak and it has a peculiar pattern of spreading, as it "followes" the beeches along the defense lines against the invading nazi's in 1940, which have been hit and damaged by German grenades and beeches in the vicinity of the German V2 launching platforms along the Dutch coast between The Hague and Rotterdam.
