Crinkle leaf and deep suture virus causes leaf puckering and fruit malformation. You notice distorted foliage and misshapen fruit with deep grooves. The virus reduces crop quality and tree vigor. Remove infected trees to prevent spread to healthy stock.
Cut out affected branches where they join the trunk; cut out affected branches and rework with unaffected scion wood; or remove trees. Reference Blodgett, E.
