I thought I had fire blight on my apple tree, but I now see new growth coming out of the supposedly infected branches. Could it just be frosty damage? I first noticed the damage shortly after a frost. Can new growth grow from an infected branch?
Hi. I planted a "baby" pear tree last year and it seemed to have been doing well till a few weeks ago. The leaves started getting black spots but even stranger are the leaves at the ends of the branches. They are curly, orangey-rusty in colour with black spots on them. I'd say that most of the leaves on this poor pear tree have spots on them. How can I help this tree. If one of the solutions is to prune the branches with the diseased leaves, wouldn't I be stopping the growth in height of the tree if I had to prune the top of the tree? Thanks for hearing me out
My pear tree might be beyond saving :-( I thought maybe it was just a drought thing. I dont think early sept is a good time to prune but it looks like im gonna have to. I wonder if its safe to eat the fruit
Can anyone purchase the bactericide? I have 7 Aristocrat pear trees that seem to have some blight on them that I'm noticing now that they're blooming and I'd like to treat it systemically if possible. Thank you!
