Early Red varieties are much more susceptible to it than others. The Lombard is one of the worst. Again, if the fruit grows in dense clusters, the disease is more likely to be severe. The thinning of the fruit, therefore, is one of the very best preventives of the spread of the disease, and at the same time, also, one of the most efficient means of increasing the size, quality and salableness of PLUM the product.
