pear trees
Hello,
I bought a Conference pear tree from a garden centre a few years ago, and so far I have not got fruit from it. Each year I start to see small fruit forming and then they mysteriously blacken and disappear. The first year I thought it wasn't established, the second year I blamed frost, but I am running out of excuses! What could be wrong? Thanks. I may be wrong, but it sounds like it has got the disease "Fireblight". I'm not sure if there are any cures. I had some young fruit trees that had it years ago and I had to destroy them. I believe it is still a notifiable disease if you live in proximity to commercial orchards. -- David .... Email address on website http://www.avisoft.co.uk ....
