Tree about 3 to 4 feet tall, new planting.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I do see a touch of fireblight on my pear tree, what can I do?
Since the fireblight pathogen is a bacteria and not a fungus, most garden fungicides will have minimal effect at best. The copper spray applied to most fruit trees in the winter will slow it down and give partial control.
Good pruning and sound sanitation techniques....keep old pears and leaves raked up over the winter, as this is where the trouble over winters just to start the process over again the following spring.
