Chokecherry fungal infection


Extension received a report of a chokecherry fungal infection in the Homer area, that has also been observed in the Anchorage area in previous years.

The infection causes elongated fruits that are stoneless. We would like to figure out where else these symptoms have been observed.  In order to properly identify it we need to locate trees to visit early next season before the infected plants are overrun with additional fungi. Please visit our webpage <http://www.uaf.edu/ces/pests/invasivespecies/chokecherry-fungal-infect/>

to learn how to report an observation of this fungal infection, and observations of healthy trees.
