In spring 2017, phytoplasma suspected symptoms were reported on 25% of 15-year-old almond plants, cultivars Filippo Ceo and Genco grafted onto GF677, in a commercial orchard (20 ha) located at Grottaglie, Apulia (southeast Italy). Among the symptoms, development of many axillary buds with small and yellowish leaves, and witches' brooms developing from the trunk, were the most frequent, followed by leaf rosetting, proliferation of slender shoots, tree decline, and dieback.
