Treating Cherry Diseases

What is Western X disease?
X Phytoplasma (Western X) is one of two pathogens that cause little cherry disease, a problem of critical concern in Washington. Western X is at epidemic levels in the Columbia Basin with high incidence from Yakima, Benton and Franklin counties and present in Oregon around Hood River and in Chelan and Douglas Counties.
What is killing my cherry tree?
The cause is a fungal disease called Brown Rot Blossom Blight. The blight attacks fruit trees such as fruiting and flowering apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. Fungus spores infect the tree blossoms in the spring, when the blooms begin to age. Many tiny black spores begin to cover the dying flowers.
What causes cherries to rot on the tree?
Cherries may rot due to infection at bloom or from fruit to fruit contact.
Should I cut down my cherry tree?
The primary reason for trimming cherry trees is to ensure the most optimal access to sunlight. Cherry tree pruning allows for aeration, allowing light channels to penetrate the tree, allowing a better fruit set, ease of harvest, and the ability to battle or thwart disease.

How do I get rid of brown rot on my cherry tree?
What can be done to treat brown rot in fruit trees?
- Prune out all signs of disease in limbs as soon as they appear. Clean pruners between cuts.
- Dispose of pruning and other debris to avoid recontamination – do not try to compost.
- Remove and dispose of all infected fruit.
How is dry rot caused?
Dry rot occurs when airborne spores come into contact with damp timber that has a moisture content of over 20%. These spores then germinate and sprout grey root hyphae strands. The hyphae grow into mycelium which covers the timber in a thick cotton-wool like substance.
