If you have not watered your trees during that
three week period, they are short about 3" of water, since fruit trees need an
average of 1" of water per week. You should use a root feeder to get water
to the deeper roots. if they have been watered and you think your
trees may have fire blight, they will look like the trees in the photos at
http://web1.msue.msu.edu/vanburen/fbpicts.htm and
at http://www.caf.wvu.edu/kearneysville/disease_descriptions/omblight.html.
There is also the possibility of a mineral
deficiency and you can use the photos at http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/min-def/apple.htm to
aid in identifying a possible deficiencywithout a soil test. There is an
index to most fruit trees at the bottom of the page. I just had 6
trees tested for what i though may be fire blight and it turned out to be a
zinc/boron deficiency! Hope this helps!
