Whats doing this then??

[Bolt]

Enjoying a KFC - (Bargin Bucket - can't be doing with all that new fangled 'chicken zinger' rubbish) - in the nice park in the middle of Haywards Heath (sussex) the other evening.

 

At first, I thought this cherry tree had interesting red leaf / green leaf ability.

 

On closer inspection, things are not looking so well...............

 

 

 

 

(mind you - from a distance you can see the crown is thinning rather)

 

Can't say I have noticed anything like it before....

 

Any ideas to the cause?

 

Is it common?

 

Is it becoming more widespread?

 

Should I have gone for popcorn chicken?

Looks like it could be Taphrina Sp.

Peach leaf curl...? Not uncommon.

should have gone for popcorn chicken mate:thumbup:

Mini Fillets with extra mayo.

Yeah, Peach Leaf Curl, Venturia inequalis if I remember correctly.

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

More likley to be Almond than Cherry tree, which I don't think suffers it, and 'yes' peach leaf curl see Royal Horticultural Society | Advice Search | Peach leaf curl

 

Chicken vindaloo for me...in a bucket tho?

Taphrina Sp. includes Peach leaf curl.
