Is pear rust ever a long term serious problem? This year pear rust appeared
on about half the pears on my Seckel tree and one fourth of the pears on a
Kieffer tree. I had never noticed the disease here before, so I am trying to
decide if I should do something to fight it for next year, or just assume it
will only be a problem occasionally. I have a dozen pear trees, two over 100
yrs old, a few 15 yr old trees, and three young trees.
