I've been meaning to ask about this ever since it happened. I read about FB
attacking sappy young growth and flowers in the spring. So why were pears
attacked by Blight here in late summer in the middle of a drought in which
nothing was growing? I think others on this list also mentioned fire blight
last fall. Any explanations? Donna
