SILVER LEAF
BEWARE OF IT. MOST DESTRUCTIVE DISEASE. One of the most destructive diseases of stone fruits is the silver leaf disease. At this season of the year the fungus produces fruiting bodies on the wood of a tree it has killed. These fruiting bodies are a pale lilac purple when fresh. From them are distributed thousands of spores which may enter wounds or pruning cuts on other trees and. so infect inem with the disease. The fruiting bodies appear only on dead wood, and all such material should be cut out and burned, to lessen the chance of infection.
