Shotholedisease (also called Coryneum blight) is a serious fungaldisease that creates BB-sized holes in leaves, rough areas on fruit, and concentric lesions on branches. Read on to learn more about shotholefungus and how tree treatment services can assist with this disease.The fungal pathogen that causes shotholedisease, Wilsonomyces coprophilous, affects the Prunus genera family of plants. Signs of ShotHoleFungus. Shotholedisease thrives in wet conditions, especially during extended wet periods. The disease is most noticeable in spring, as new growth is most susceptible. Shotholefungus, also known as shotholedisease, is a serious fungaldisease that creates distinct BB-sized holes in leaves. With the rainy, warm weather we’ve been having this season Fungus is running rampant. Wilson EE (1937) The shot-holedisease of stone-fruit trees. Newman TE, Derbyshire MC (2020) The evolutionary and molecular features of broad host-range necrotrophy in plant pathogenic fungi.Frontiers in plant science,1772. 608] Shot-HoleDisease of Stone Fruit Trees. fruit diseases in New York, contains a fairly concise description of the disease and drawings of the spores of the fungus. ShotHole is a fungaldisease caused by Wilsonomyces carpophilus. The disease is able to infect leaves, fruits, and green wood. Leaf infections are characterized by a lesion that is between 1/8"-1/4" (3-6 mm) in diameter, with a definitive yellow halo. Shot-holedisease caused by Stigmina carpophila (Deuteromycetes) is a major limiting factor in peach production, causing foliage shothole in spring and early summer; fruit-spotting and cankers on limbs and twigs during autumn rains. The fungus overwinters, for at least two seasons... shothole fungus cherry. Each year we get questions about holes in the leaves of flowering cherries and cherry laurel. Concerned gardeners find the holes and wonder if an insect is eating their plants. The cause is shotholedisease. Abstract: Abstract Wilsonomyces carpophilus is the major fungus that produces shotholedisease (SHD) in apricots, which results in significant economic losses. This problem can be addressed through the monitoring of the diseases and spotlighting the risks connected with them. Found mainly on the Prunus family, shotholedisease affects fruit trees including plum, peach, apricot, and cherry varieties. It’s often mistaken as the work of an insect but instead, it’s caused by shotholefungus. This disease also affects related landscape shrubs such as the cherry-laurel. The exact cause of shot-holedisease is thought to be a combination of a bacterium and a fungus that attacks peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, and nectarines, which are all closely related. Shotholedisease, also known as Coryneum Blight, is a very common issue found on landscape plants in New Jersey. This disease is primarily found on cherries, plums, and laurels; however, depending on environmental conditions, it can be found on a variety of other species. Fungal spores that can be found in the centers of brown spots are the main sign that distinguishes this disease from the others. Despite being so common, ShotHoleDisease is a severe issue since it damages the fruit and causes premature leaf drop.
