Pear Problems
Hi
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? Thanks Andrew |

Andrew 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. -- Drakanthus.

... 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. I've just had another look, for the first time in a couple of days, and things have moved on. Some leaves still have spots, and they are brown / red in colour - rusty, I would say - but definitely spots, not blisters. Others have thin "tracks" cut in them, some of which have joined up to form holes, or gaps in the edges of the leaves. We did have hail yesterday, but I don't think it looks like hail damage. I don't think we've had frost recently, although it has been a bit nippy at night (we're in mid Beds). We rather liked our pear, and we don;t want to lose it!
