SUMMARY Trees with rasp‐leaf symptoms have been found in seventeen orchards in England. In some orchards only a few trees are infected, while in others the disease is prevalent. Transmission tests from diseased trees indicate that raspberry ringspot virus is the cause of cherry rasp‐leaf disease in most English orchards, but arabis mosaic virus can cause similar symptoms.
