Firefly1 starts with ... I would appreciate if I can obtain identification of the problem with my pear tree leaves. It is not a actual image of my leaves but identical to what is happening. I haven't been able to find out exactly what it is and how to treat via Google.

Firefly1 says... Thank you - Yes it appears that the fungus is the problem - now I have a name - I will definitely strip the trees of the infected leaves and pick up all others and spray - I see that it will over winter on the stems and leaf buds. Hopefully I can get rid of it before spring. It arrived on the second pear tree I purchased and not having ever had a pear tree, I was oblivious to what it really was and hence it infected my first healthy tree :( Fruit growing is a learning curve that's for sure. Thank you everyone for your input, appreciated. | About the Author Firefly1 TALOUMBI,2463,NSW 25th June 2017 10:01am #UserID: 16393 Posts: 5 View All Firefly1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... Firefly -- Until you can post an actual photo of the leaves we truly cant assess. Another issue in summer there is a mite that disfigures leaves and regular spraying of Success Ultra and removing affected leaves works for that problem - If your leaves look anything like that photo theres absolutely nothing wrong with them - I have a Dwarf pear 5 years old and 2mt tall and the leaves look exactly the same as winter hits - it has no leaves now so cant show you and mine hasnt got that mite issue i saw on a friends pear that took 2 years to 90% get rid of. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 25th June 2017 4:24pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... It is late holding onto the leaves still but it is feeling some cold and retreating into dormancy as it should & has to. You could still do a copperoxy spray to run off if concerned all over. I saw deciduous trees growing in Singapore (Gardens by the bay glasshouse) and they looked really stressed as they dont get winter and short daylight days. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 27th June 2017 6:25pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Firefly1 says... Thanks I will do that. They were planted last year and seem to struggle with the concept of winter and it wasn't until late winter mid August that all the leaves fell off. I have a Hood and Flordahome which are both low chill varieties. All the leaves have fallen from the Almond, but the pears seem to fight it. Its a gamble but well worth it if I can get them to crop. Thanks for your assistance - I'm keen to keep my new orchard in the best of health. | About the Author Firefly1 TALOUMBI,2463,NSW 28th June 2017 5:09pm #UserID: 16393 Posts: 5 View All Firefly1's Edible Fruit Trees |
