The fungal genus Neonectria contains many phytopathogenic species currently impacting forests and fruit trees worldwide. Despite their importance, a majority of Neonectria spp. lack sufficient genomic resources to resolve suspected cryptic species. Here, we report draft genomes and assemblies for Neonectria magnoliae NRRL 64651 and Neonectria punicea NRRL 64653.
