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 ...
Possible symptoms produced tend to vary from white gray mottling on field maple to yellow chlorotic spots on hawthorn leaves. [1] There is an Apple Necrotic Mosaic Virus (ApNMV) which is a very similar virus but displays signs of necrosis. [6] Furthermore, in plum trees, ApMV can cause line-pattern symptoms, while in roses, the symptoms are ...

The fungus is applied directly to the weed trees in a nutrient paste which can be stored and handled conveniently.

Almond, apricot, nectarine, peach, plum and cherry trees can be affected. Both edible and ornamental varieties are vulnerable to infection. [ 2 ] Almost all over-ground parts of the plants are affected including the fruits, buds and the stems, but the damage is most noticeable on the leaves.
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 diagnosis of a P. cactorum infection of trees, is based on the identification of symptoms, in particular the oozing cankers, and confirmation of symptoms in a diagnosis lab or utilization of a field ELISA detection kit. [3] P. cactorum can be a major problem in apple orchards, as it can cause crown, collar, and root rots in apple trees.
