We have a small orchard and unfortunately this rot happens every year, especially the last two which have had a high humidity level all year round, especially when sun should have help fruit mature. I shall make extra sure that I leave nothing behind which could further damage next crop. Thanks for the tips you offer. They are very helpful. Chantalou

This is really useful, I too have this problem on our one plum tree. It looks gastly. I always take it off the tree and put it in the compost but I never knew that you had to destroy it. Thanks' so much.

I have had a cherry tree for seven years and it has always produced fruit, last year i put a glue band round the trunk and noticed the string had dug into the trunk at the end of the season,i pruned the tree at the begining of the seasonand it produced fruit but the leaves fell off early.This year it has not produced any leaves and no buds and is looking like a tree in mid winter! thank you if you have any advice
