Default Asian pear tree --- fire bright?
It looks like fire blight to me. It's at least the same problem that took out my French pear 2 years ago. It doesn't seem to affect the tree until it blooms and then it's devastating. I tried every fungal treatment I could find (organic & otherwise) and nothing worked. The tree was completely dead within a month. All I can say is I'm sorry & wish you good luck.

Could somebody take a look at the the problem I have with my Asian pear tree
I have on my backyard. The tree is about 3 yrs old. It sets small fruits at the moment
but seeing this kind of problem is really scare me. If it is indeed the fire bright issue,
how would I go about solving the problem? I live in Dallas, TX area.

Here are the three photos I took this morning:
