Default Pear Problems

Our newly-planted pear tree (about two years old, Doyenne de Comice and
Beure Hardy (sp?)) has some small brown spots on several of its leaves.
Some of the ones that are most badly affected are also shrivelling up.

Any
ideas, please?

Are they brown spots or brownish/red blisters? If the latter they may be
pear leaf blister mites. I've just had that problem on my young conference
pear tree. The book said to remove all affected leaves and burn them to stop
the disease spreading.
