They appear as small, round or irregular spots ranging in color from dark brown to almost black, which gradually enlarge, often merging together to form larger, irregular clusters. There is often a clear, intense yellow border around each dark spot. Infected leaves, especially those with numerous spots and a spreading yellow border, quickly turn yellow throughout. They then fall prematurely. In more advanced cases or on particularly sensitive varieties, dark, slightly concave spots may also appear on young shoots.
