I have this one spot in my orchard that over the past 4 years has held a 
Carrol for 2 years, then a Hardi-Mac and lastly a Courtland.  But the year 
the Carrol died, everyone in the area lost their Carrols, even 20+ year old 
Carrols.  The Hardi-Mac may have succumbed to the drought and my getting to 
busy to baby it until it was a bit too late.  And who knows how hardy a fall 
planted, potted Courtland is up here even over a mild winter where we didn't 
even hit -40.

Anyone???  What does 'replant disease' look like?  Can I plant a pear in the 
same spot and be ok?  How far away do I have to move to avoid murdering yet 
another tree (of any kind) in the same grave?
