Apiognomonia erythrostoma is a fungal pathogen responsible for cherry leaf scorch and leaf spot disease, causing yellow-brown lesions and premature defoliation on cherries (Prunus species) and related stone fruits. It overwinters in fallen, infected leaves and disperses ascospores during wet spring weather to initiate new infections. This pathogen affects both wild and cultivated Prunus trees across temperate regions.
