Abstract
Pear decline virus is present in both healthy and weak appearing pear trees on all common rootstocks in commercial orchards in California. Vigorous condition of any tree probably results from true tolerance of the rootstock to the disease rather than the chance that it may have escaped infection. Research suggests a possible relationship between pear leaf curl and pear decline.
