Flemish Beauty (also called Parker) is extremely susceptible to scab. Many growers have given up on growing the pear and have cut them down.

My guess is pear scab which can be dealt with in much the same way as apple scab.

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....
