Hello All.

Planted a young Conference pear tree last year. I've not done anything
with
it other than feed and drink. Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed
most of the upper leaves have developed this red spotting on them..

The leaves are curling and the poor thing looks a bit sad. Can anyone
please
help identify the problem and suggest anything to help?

many thanks,


Have a look at this site:

There's a question on there from someone who seems to have a similar
problem to yours.

Thanks Tina, that's very helpful. Possibly, and since I've given up hope for
fruit this year I should go for broke and try anti-fungal as well as some
insecticide- kill or cure

Cheers

Rich.
