We've had more
fireblight here in mid-Missouri this year than I can remember for the last
5 at least. While the weather has been a problem, I think that, at least
in my trees, a lot of it represents initial infections we had last year.
While we've tried to prune out what we could, I noticed small strikes on both
pears and a few more susceptible apples (Spitzenburg) last year. I think
that those we may have missed have served as a source for more infection this
year.
