Abstract
The susceptibility of 12 plum cultivars to plum pox virus was compared.
The results indicated that evaluations of susceptibility must be based on several years observations of infected trees.
In addition to leaf and fruit symptoms, very severe shoot symptoms occurred on infected trees of four cultivars during the fourth year after inoculation.
It is possible that the additive effect of the plum pox virus together with another virus was responsible for these shoot symptoms.
