The black spots almost look like anthracnose to me, but I know almost
nothing about pome fruit diseases.  Later in the season the diseased
pears dry up & have big cracks running thru them.  When I explained it
to Bob Purvis, he thought it sounded like boron deficiency.  Or
possibly there could be more than one thing going on. Also any
suggestions on organic controls.  I still haven't tasted any fruit off
these trees....
