I just noticed this leaf in my garden. Should I suspect it is virus x?

Hello and welcome.

This looks entirely like frost damage to me. I bet if you look at the back of the leaves that are damaged you will see some bubbling where the tissue is separating where it froze. Watch for the newest growth and it will probably look fine.

Hope that helps and if you have other questions don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you! I was wondering if it was from frost, we had a late frost and I know this one had a few shoots when it frosted.
