Venturia carpophila
What is Freckle
Freckle is mostly a fungal disease of stone fruit and almonds. The disease starts off as small brown spots or freckles on the fruit which become scabby. Wet weather in spring and summer favour the disease spread.
Symptoms
Dark spots or cracks, on mature fruit and dark lesions on undersides of leaves and on shoots. Spots are flush with the fruit surface and can join together to form larger spots.
How to protect your plants
Prune trees to promote good air circulation so that twigs, leaves and fruit dry quickly. Apply fungicides at the appropriate times (dependant on fruit type).
Plants impacted
- Stone Fruit
- Almonds
