Help?  I'm am being vexed by fire blight 
resulting from winter pruning cuts.

I use alcohol to sanitize my shears, and I 
seal the wounds when damp weather is imminent 
using grafting sealer.

Frankly, it's causing me to be far less 
aggressive in my pruning than I should be, 
and my trees are a mess.
