Over time, the lesions will expand, they will swell into a round shape, turn black, and finally cause the leaves to die and fall off.

Beetle pests of Prunus persicae

Red spiders will spread webs on the leaves of the plant to lay eggs, and pierce the leaves to absorb the sap of the leaves, causing the chlorophyll of the leaves to be destroyed, and the color of the leaves gradually turns yellow. Gray-yellow spots will also appear on the leaves until the leaves die.
