Fungal disease

Brown rot (Monilinia)

How to recognise it

Rotting fruit with rings of mould pads or wilting shoot tips.

What helps

Remove rotten and mummified fruit, cut affected shoots back into healthy wood.

Often a care issue is behind it (watering, light, placement) – the care check in the app helps narrow it down.
