Watch out for

Silver leaf: Prune out infected wood well below the visible symptoms and burn it immediately.

Bacterial canker: Prune out affected wood in dry weather during summer to prevent spread.

Powdery mildew: Improve air circulation by thinning the canopy and apply a suitable fungicide if severe.

Aphids: Encourage natural predators like ladybirds or use a strong jet of water to dislodge them.

Verticillium wilt: Remove and destroy infected plants and avoid replanting Prunus in that soil for years.
