In spite of its name, ToRSV is known to be the causal agent of various diseases
on many plant species, including apple union necrosis and decline, peach yellow
bud mosaic, prunus stem pitting, winters disease and cherry leaf mottles.
On peach trees the reaction to infection is rarely immediate. Rosettes develop on
the regrowth 4 to 5 months after indexing. Cherry plants, with a characteristic
bonsai appearance, are weak, but not dwarfed.
