About Ring
Virus-induced ring spot symptoms appear as circular, discolored patches on leaves, often causing mottled or necrotic areas that reduce plant vigor. This disease affects a variety of ornamental and fruit plants common in Middle Tennessee landscapes, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood. Warm, humid conditions favor virus spread, so early detection and removal of infected plants are key to managing outbreaks.
