Cherry Rusty Mottle Virus (CRMV) Cherry rusty mottle covers numerous disorders with some common symptoms reported throughout Europe. On susceptible plants leaves turn bright yellow to red in late spring. Brown spots with dark brown or black halos develop and give the foliage a rusty appearance. Leaves drop before harvest, the fruits are small with poor taste and ripen delayed. After cold springs symptoms are more severe. As the disease is not epidemic, the frequency decreases rapily with the use of virus free planting material. Other Prunus species than cherries seem to be resistant to CRMV.
