The Black Knot Of PlumS And
Cherries

An appeal to those interested in
fruit trees.
The black knot is one OF the most
unsightly diseases OF the plum and
cherry 1t causes great loss annually,
and yet very little is done to prevent
the unnecessary waste. Years ago, this
disease was believed to be caused by
insects, or by improper soil condi-
tons To-day it is proven beyond
doubt that this trouble is caused by
fungus parasite known as (Plowrigh-
tia morbosa).
The term black knot is very signifi-
can't The affected parts swell, and
present the iorm OF the well known
black knots. Young infections are
manifested as swelings which increase
in size until the bark is ruptured. A
granular growth soon fills the crevice.
This newly formed knot is light yellow
ish to brown which turns black as the
season advances. The black knot is
twig disease. Any part OF the limbs
OF the tree may be injected. The knots
are formed in the crotches OF young
and old branches, on young twigs or
old limbs; and also on small spurs
which bear fruits. 1t is remarkable
that for the most part the knots do not
encircle the whole twig. They are
formed on one side OF the limb, and
thus, nourishment is sent up to the
higher parts OF the infected twig
Young spurs, however, are killed out
right.
If this disease should be confined to
an individual infected tree only, the
danger would not be SO great. How
ever, this is contagious malady.
During May and June. if we closely
examine diseased twigs We will find
that the knots are covered with vel
vety coating. This coat consists of
great masses of summer spores of the
fungus These spores are extremely
light and may be carried to consider
able distances by the lightest breeze,
and when they are lodged on healthy
twigs of plums or cherries, the disease
IS newly induced. Late in the winter
if we again examine these knots we
will find them covered with minute
pimples. These are microscopic sac
like bodies which contain the winter
resting spores. The latter are of a
nature such which enables them to
withstand the rgors of The winter.
Eearly in the spring these winter
spores are discharged and are carried
by the wind to infect healthy twigs.
The black knot fungus lives several
years on the same affected limb, and it
is capable every year to produce large
crops OF summer and winter spores.
The fungus robs the tree of the food
which was destined for the nourish
ment OF the limbs and leaves The re-
suit is n weakening condition of the
tree, which in turn results in a poor
harvest OF fruits. Finally the continu-
Gus injury inflicted ends in the death
of the tree. The black knot attacks
the cultivated as we'll as tie wild
plums and cherries. Many neglected
cherry tree growing in some corner in
the farm is found to be affected. Such
trees serve as sources of infection.
The question arises, how can we get
rid of this trouble? We cannot en-
