N2  - Pollen from peach trees infected with prune dwarf virus (PDV) was used to hand-pollinate emasculated flowers on Golden Queen peach trees in the nursery. Symptoms of rosetting developed 20&ndash;25 days later on five of the 10 trees used, and PDV could be detected only in these affected trees. Rosetting symptoms developed in the remaining five trees 6&ndash;12 months later. Peach trees with latent or incipient infection also occurred naturally in the orchard. 14&#37; and 12&#37; of symptomless Golden Queen and Pullar's Cling trees, respectively, growing next to trees affected with peach rosette and decline were infected with PDV.
