    Something now starting to show itself on Prunus padus (bird cherry) is the ascomycete fungus which attacks the developing fruits, forming “pocket plums”.

    The host tree is often planted in parks and streets and this fungus can be found in these habitats as well as in the tree’s native sites. Worth looking out for.

    Cheers
