A Result of The Fall? You decide!

My poor Pear tree fell prey to a nasty little disease called fireblight,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_blight) which is very common in Roses,apples and pears which is transmitted through the blossoms by our pollinators, Bees and other insects. . Left untreated it will slowly destroy your entire tree leaving behind a charred/burnt looking tree, thus the name fireblight......the cure???

before too much damgage has occured you can stop the spread of fireblight by cutting off the infected leaves and branches, being very contagious and easily spread to other plants, be sure to clean and disinfect your pruning shears after each cut, so not to spread it to other parts of your tree. You can use what ever you feel is safe, but I like using just a solution of soap, water and vinegar, works great and is all natural.

The end result is a healthy looking tree, Hopefully if was enough to save it.
