Fungal disease

Shot hole disease

How to recognise it

Small red spots that fall out leaving holes (cherry laurel, cherry).

What helps

Cut back affected shoots, remove leaves, water at the base.

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