Thread: Nisperos and Plums

Our plums are coming one BUT are mostly all affected by white almost powdery patches. Both trees seem to be healthy enough themselves and re at opposite end of the garden. I am wondering if it is a symptom of the wet and windt months earlier this year ?

Has anybody else got the same problems ? I live 12k west of Sevilla.


HELP please

Yes. I have two Nispero trees and the fruit is always very small and covered in black patches....as are the leaves. I have tried various sprays but it has been unsuccessful. I'm on the verge of cutting them down.

I have never seen big nisperos, ours are normally tasty enough
