Hi,

I would love to hear that the photos I have attached below showing something happening to one leaf on my young grafted pear tree. This tree is special to me and I don't want to loose it. The reason I am concerned is what you see in the photos below happened last season when I grafted one scion of the same variety onto an old pear tree in my yard. The graft was doing fine then the tips pf the leaves started turning a blackish color

and finally they all turned black and the scion died. Other's of different varieties that I grafted at the same time on that tree made it through the winter and are doing well.

The leaf in the photos is the only one I have found showing this discoloration at its edge. I don't want to loose this tree so if any one of you can tell me what it might be and if it is a problem developing what if anything can I spray the tree with. Remember the tree is in its early stage of growth. I am hoping to hear that it is nothing to worry about. Take a look-see and please give me your opinion.

I pinched off the only leaf showing these the damage.

Thank you.

Lou NE., PA
