Cherry Mottle Leaf Virus (CMLV) The infection with CMLV causes on susceptible hosts irregular development of leaves which show chlorotic mottle and distortion. Reduction of leaf size and tattering vary with the host species and the virus isolate. The terminal growth is reduced, leading to a rosetted appearance of the tree. Ripening is delayed and the fruits, although regular in shape, remain small and lack flavour. Usually no dieback occures. It seems that the virus is rather sensitive to high temperatures, as warm weather can mask the symptoms and gain a certain recovery of the trees.
