Ciri dan struktur
The gall is usually known as 'pocket plum'; however alternatives are 'starved plum', 'bladder bullace', and 'mock plum'. The gall appears on the developing fruit, rendering it inedible and resulting in an elongated, flattened, hollow, stone-less gall ranging in colour from light green through grey to light orange. The surface of the gall becomes corrugate and coated with the fungus, showing as a white bloom of ascospore producing hyphae. The fruits become totally inedible, shrivel, and usually fall. The airborne spores released from the whitish 'bloom' on the fruit are thought to settle in the host's bark and bud scales, growing at first without causing obvious signs, but in the spring the fungus invades the plant tissues, causing swollen and deformed shoots. The fungus remains in these as a mycelium. The gall inducing fungus then grows into the flowers and the developing fruit. The cycle then repeats itself. The fungus infects the ovaries causing a pseudo-pollination and an enhanced cell division, resulting in the infested fruit being larger than the healthy one. Cool and wet weather conditions promote the germination of spores; infection is rare in warm dry weather. Colonisation can become extensive and eradication very difficult. The disease can to some degree be controlled by carefully removing infected branches, witch's brooms and fruit before the infective air borne spores are produced.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Taphrina pruni menghasilkan pertumbuhan yang mirip lidah yang khas, mirip dengan spesies lain yang terkait erat seperti Taphrina alni pada alder (Alnus glutinosa) dan Taphrina padi pada ceri burung Prunus padus. Gula ini tersebar luas, kurang tercatat di Inggris, tetapi ditemukan di seluruh belahan bumi utara yang sedang.
