Descriptions
Taphrina pruni (Fuckel) Tul. 1866
Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata none. Asci cylindric-clavate, 20–50 × 5–15 μm, with a large stalk cell; forming a layer over the surface of swollen and distorted fruit and leaves. Ascospores elliptical, 0-septate, 4–7 × 3–6 μm, smooth, hyaline, commonly budding freely within the ascus.
Distribution: Auckland, Mid Canterbury.; 1st Record: Kirk (1896: as Exoascus taphrina pruni).
Significance: ‘Bladder plum’ is of minor importance in commercial orchards where a normal spray programme is maintained. It can cause heavy losses if trees are not sprayed (Atkinson 1971). Infected fruit become elongated, distorted, wrinkled and almost white with a tinge of red, finally turning brown and falling. In Prunus salicina the fruit also becomes much enlarged.; Host(s): Prunus ×domestica, P. salicina.
