A common characteristic of popular stone fruits – sweet cherries, cherries, plums, apricots and peaches – is the love of these cultures for warmth and light. Among the serious risks of stone fruit trees, experts distinguish winter injury and spring frosts: staying at excessively low temperatures and in the wind leads to freezing of the roots. Stone fruits are not cold-resistant fruit trees, are easily damaged by frosts and are more susceptible to fungal diseases – moniliosis, clasterosporiasis and coccomycosis.
