how much fireblight is too much fireblight...

7 years ago

ie, at what point do I just cut the tree down?


asian pear - 7 yrs old, 15' tall. has FB over about 1/3-1/2 of the tree, theres not a branch that doesnt have the blackened crook. unfortunately its over a lot of the short spurs coming directly off the main trunk so its impossible to prune back even 6'' past the affected area without hitting trunk.


looking for experienced suggestions. It would be sad to cut down but hey, if its gonna die next year anyway...
