The severity of the disease is very variable from year to year. In 1945 there was a serious outbreak in southern Pennsylvania. Trees began to defoliate early in the spring and eventually 25,000 trees died by the end of the growing season. This was 10 percent of Pennsylvania's cherry tree acreage at the time. [22]
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]
Dibotryon morbosum is a fungus that affects the genus Prunus. 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).

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.
Initial infections begin at the lower branches and patches of the tree will show symptoms. Lateral (tree-to-tree) infection is slow and fruit production is reduced. Severe infection may result in the death of the tree.
The first regulatory approval was granted in 2001 to Myco-Forestis Corporation and targeted species "including birch, pin-cherry, poplar/aspen, red maple, sugar maple, and speckled alder in the Boreal and Mixed forest regions of Canada, east of the Rocky Mountains". It had not been reported as of 2001 to cause any diseases in coniferous tree ...
It is common to treat CMLV by using virus free budwood in certified nursery stocks. It is important to remove all bitter cherry trees in the orchard and any trees that show symptoms. [7] This is a cultural practice that includes removing all fallen infected leaves from the ground which will prevent any future disease spread within the cycle.
The Cherry leaf roll virus infects a wide variety of woody plants and produces different symptoms by host. Symptoms of infection were first identified in walnut and sweet cherry trees. [1] The virus is known to infect at least 36 plant families and natural hosts include olive, elm, ash, elderberry, beech, rhubarb, dogwood, and lilac. [1] [2]
