Have holes in the leaves of your ornamental cherry tree and wondering what's causing it? It might not be bugs after all!

In this video, Paul Pugliese, UGA Extension Agent in Bartow County, breaks down a common issue affecting ornamental flowering cherry trees in Georgia—leaf spot disease. He explains how this fungal and bacterial disease mimics insect damage, when it starts, what to look for, and what you can (and can’t) do about it.
