In July 2014, leaves showing symptoms of a viral infection were collected from a plum tree serving as a mother tree in a Finnish nursery and found to be infected by Plum pox virus ( PPV ). A subsequent survey revealed additional infected trees originating from the infected mother tree. This paper provides the first report of PPV , the causal agent of the most destructive viral disease of Prunus , in Finland.
