Taphrina pruni is a fungal plant pathogen of blackthorn that causes pocket plum, also called bladder plum, a chemically induced distortion of the fruit. Infected sloes become swollen on one side and otherwise deformed and flattened, developing without a stone. The twigs of infected plants can also become deformed, growing small strap shaped leaves.

Caused By Agent Kind
Entity-backed identity for the agent-kind enum value this pest or disease already carries, resolved to an agriculture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The agent-kind fact itself stays on the pest or disease unchanged.
