Abstract Stone fruits ( Prunus spp.) are economically and nutritionally valuable commodities, with production concentrated in the temperate regions. In UK, limited to cherries plums, trends highlight a resurgence cherry yields due modern practices. However, bacterial cankers, caused by diverse strains of P . syringae , pose significant threats spp., affecting both commercial orchards ornamental plant nurseries. This disease, characterised gummosis, necrotic lesions woody tissues, incurs severe economic losses, young particularly vulnerable. Surveys have revealed emergence novel pathogens populations, predominant groups varying across continents. Advances molecular techniques improved pathogen classification resistance screening cultivars is increasing. Addressing cankers requires integrating knowledge lifecycles, virulence factors, host-pathogen interactions into management strategies. Current research focuses on evolution, breeding resistant tree cultivars, implementing new biocontrol strategies mitigate ecological impacts. Information © The Authors 2025
