> SB, are you sure the infection after the freeze was fireblight? One
spring after a frosty cold wet bloom season, my trees ended up w/
something like FB but I did some research and decided it was Pseudomonas
blossom-blast. I never took a sample to a plant pathology lab (it was
alarming only on one old pear tree), but I will probably have more
chances in the future.
Good question: it had the blackening, the shepherds crook, etc. And it
was killing of the bartlett pear trees at a pretty good clip. It also
hit the jonathan much harder than the red delicious (which I am getting
ready to regraft to something that I care for) and the lodi. I didn't
take pictures, but what I saw on google images seemed to match up. So I
think that it was fireblight, but I didn't have it checked and so I
guess that I don't know for sure.
