Included in this genus are multiple species of trees and shrubs, such as: Dibotryon morbosum infects are Prunus serotina (wild cherry trees), Prunus persica (peach trees), Prunus domestica (plum trees), and Prunus cerasus (sour cherry trees). [3] The main symptom of Dibotryon morbosum is its “knot-like” gall structure. These knots can vary ...
Weeping Higan Cherry trees are rather prone to problems, particularly in dry soil. A type of bacterium can cause leaf spots and twig cankers. Small, reddish spots dry and drop out. A fungus can cause reddish spots which drop out leaving shot holes. Once the holes appear the leaves may fall from the tree and the disease is worse in wet weather.
Cherry X disease also known as Cherry Buckskin disease is caused by a plant pathogenic phytoplasma.Phytoplasmas are obligate parasites of plants and insects. They are specialized bacteria, characterized by their lack of a cell wall, often transmitted through insects, and are responsible for large losses in crops, fruit trees, and ornamentals. [1]
Long-distance spread of the disease occurs through the planting of infected trees, as well as budding and grafting of infected tissue. To prevent the establishment of the disease, guidelines typically call for testing of rootstocks and budwood before planting, removal of all trees known and suspected to be infected and eradication of ornamental and wild cherry trees from the surrounding area.
The disease gets its name from the black patches that grow on the trunks of infected trees. In a newly infected tree, branches become denuded and then die off. Eventually, the entire tree succumbs.
Symptoms on orchard trees can include death of buds and roots, reduced tree survival and uniformity, [8] and increased susceptibility to winter injury. [2] Some common symptoms also include necrotic “shot holes” in leaves or rugosity and mosaic symptoms. [9]
It infects the genus Prunus including cherry (Prunus avium) and peach (P. persica) trees. [2] More specifically, CMLV infects both sweet and bitter/wild type (P. emarginata) cherry trees. [3] The most common propagation host is the Chenopodium quinoa [4] and the most common infected trees in the field are Bing and Napoleon trees. [3]
Taphrina wiesneri is a plant pathogen causing witch's broom, or plant gall formations, on cherry trees (Prunus & Cerasus spp). It is an important pest species of the ornamental cherry Cerasus X yedoensis in Japan .
