Little cherry disease

Little cherry disease or LChD, sometimes referred to as little cherry, K & S little cherry or sour cherry decline, is a viral infectious disease that affects cherry trees, most notably sweet cherries (Prunus avium) and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus).[1] Little cherry disease should not be confused with cherry buckskin disease, which is caused by Phytoplasma.[2] Note that both diseases are among the diseases referred to as cherry decline.[1][3]
