It can cause dwarfism of leaves on certain prune and plum plants. It will also cause yellows in sour cherry, especially when present with Prunus necrotic ringspot virus. [3] There are no known transmission vectors, though the pollen of infected cherry trees has been found to infect other cherry trees a small percent of the time. [4]
Leaves severely infected by the disease turn very yellow before falling off. If the disease is not controlled and allowed to persist for several years there could be various adverse effects to the overall cherry production of a tree primarily due to the cycle of early season and repeated defoliation .
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.

Prunus × eminens or Prunus eminens is a species of small cherry tree native to central Europe. [a] It is a naturally occurring hybrid of sour cherry, Prunus cerasus, and dwarf cherry, Prunus fruticosa, occasionally found where their ranges overlap. Like its parents, it is a tetraploid with 32 chromosomes.
Prunus fruticosa, the European dwarf cherry, [2] dwarf cherry, Mongolian cherry or steppe cherry is a deciduous, xerophytic, winter-hardy, cherry-bearing shrub. It is also called ground cherry and European ground cherry , but is not to be confused with plants in the distinct "Groundcherry" genus of Physalis .
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 ...
