Abstract
Pear decline virus is present in both healthy and weak appearing pear trees on all
common rootstocks in commercial orchards in California. Vigorous condition of any
tree probably results from true tolerance of the rootstock to the disease rather than
the chance that it may have escaped infection. Research suggests a possible relationship
between pear leaf curl and pear decline.
