Abstract

Cherry Short Stem virus (SSV) was bud grafted onto peach cultivars ‘Early Redhaven’ and ‘Fairhaven.’ There were no leaf symptoms on either cultivar. ‘Early Redhaven’ fruits showed uneven bumpy surfaces with mosaic coloration, and the texture of the fruits was harder than normal. There were no visible fruit symptoms on ‘Fairhaven.’ Back check on woody indicator sweet cherry cv. ‘Bing’ confirmed that the fruit symptoms on ‘Early Redhaven’ were caused by SSV, and that ‘Fairhaven’ is a symptomless carrier. Both Cherry Necrotic Ring Spot virus (NRSV) and Prune Dwarf virus (PDV) failed to produce any fruit symptoms on either peach cultivar.
