regarding pear blister mite
apparently this can be transported by birds or just wind, it is very
damaging and is very important to treat it does not go away we
sprayed a very strong lime sulfur
spray it was 8 gallons to the 100 gallons (8%solution)in the fall and
then again
during dormant the next spring lo and behold, those babies are goners
the mite only affected certain pear trees, not all different varieties
wynne in nc washington state, sunny and 85 degrees
