No hope - mid August all the leaves have come off ...
I am new to gardening. I have NO clue, honestly ....
I planted two pear trees in winter and have kept them hydrated (Abatte and Comice). Two weeks ago the leaves started turning black. Imageshack - img1817jl.jpg a target='_blank' href='http://img33.imageshack.us/i/img1822kw.jpg/'img src='http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7387/img1822kw.th.jpg' border='0'//a Uploaded with a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'ImageShack.us/a Most of the leaves, about 80% fell off the trees and yesterday I went back to the garden centre to ask what should be done. The guy was very friendly and he told me : - to cut all the leaves off and burn them - the scratch the branches to see if they are green underneath. He suggested it may be a fungal infection. Do you think this is good advice? It seems at bit drastic to me. What are the chances of the leaves returning next spring? What should I do differently next year? Thanks for ANY help. As I already mentioned - I am a beginner with all this. |

It may regrow leaves now or it might just wait until spring, hard to know. Hope they do survive for you. |
