Discouraged to see my Red Duchess apple has fireblight. Small tree
about 8 ft. Leaves opened up but I saw today the leaves died back.
Big black patches on trunk and most branches. I cut tree down
leaving a foot high trunk. Several green leaves are sprouting from
short trunk underneath plastic trunk protector. I used to fight fire
blight by spraying and pruning but always lost the battles. If
necessary, I'll cut trunk back to ground level and allow rootstock to
sprout. Any advice?
