Abstract

The California sweet cherry industry has long been plagued with problems causing loss of tree vigor, dieback and death. A widespread epidemic of cherry buckskin (Western X-disease) was a major reason for the dramatic reduction in sweet cherry production in some northern California areas during the 1930s to 1940s (9). The cause of such severe loss was due to the Napa Valley strain of the disease (10). The less virulent Green Valley strain, known to exist in San Joaquin County, can also cause fairly severe losses.
