Richard, My KG is on calleryana, and is probably getting a bit too much N,
but it's in a sort of thicket of voluneers that I grafted, and I have seen
one or two bits of FB on the other trees. The 2 Shinkos are right there
with it, and an Ayers. It looks like the FB has stopped spreading, the tree
looked ok yesterday. I think it's still spreading in the chestnut crab, and
starting to appear on my smaller apple trees. I saw a pear tree on the way
to town that looked to be about 1/3 blighted. Surely not a Kieffer with
that much blight, I'll have to have a closer look later in the year. Thank
you for all the detailed info. Donna
