I've got fire blight down here. Not exactly
sure why, it seems to have gotten started during a dry spell, and the weather
was quite dry while the trees were blooming. One thing is for sure, Korean
Giant pear is NOT resistant to fire blight. Lucky in Hopkinsville KY and
someone in Chattanooga have both told me that theirs died to the ground from
blight. Mine bloomed nicely this year, but most of the fruit spurs have
blighted. I've been pulling them off and cutting off branches, I'd like a
real crop before it dies. It's grafted about 3 ft high and there's a
branch I've already grafted something else to.
A number of my apples have the
blight too. I really thought I'd have a crop this year. Now I wonder
what my trees will look like when it's done. Donna
