Not sure if I've ever seen fireblight in this area, but this spring I'm
finding the occasional tip die-back. It goes in only a leaf or 2, and
quits; dry brown dead part falls off with light tug. I think I saw a little
of this last year. It's still not enough to take bother taking samples to
the diagnostic lab.

More fireblight on the Asian pears than at any time in the past 10 years,
Clapp's Favorite, which lost easily 50% of the tree to FB & pruning two
years ago and has never really recovered, is all but dead - with only a
single branch surviving this year's FB onslaught.
No more FB than usual in the apples - some cultivars are more susceptible
than others(but I'd have to pull my orchard map to tell you which ones are
hit this year.
