Just as the pears and apples in my new orchard were really beginning to come into their own, I've been hit badly w/fireblight. Every pear is infected, and a couple apples are showing sign. I suspect the challenging weather the last several years, but there could be too much nitrogen as well as I mulch heavily w/grass clippings. The orchard is kept immaculate, so I can rule out hygiene. Really the cause is irrelevent at this point. There is absolutely no way for me to prune it all out due to several reasons--sheer number of damaged limbs alone is daunting. Is it worth getting streptomycin or even doing a copper spray now???? I'm at a point I don't think I want to replant. Any help appreciated.
