Kieffer Pear: Fireblight or Frost damage

5 years ago

5 year old Kieffer tree is showing some type of damage on the blossoms. We had 2 nights of 28 and 25 degree temps right when it started flowering about a week ago. This is it's first year to have a lot of flowers. Not much rain at all and day temps mostly 60s and a few 70s.

My concern is that a younger Kieffer nearby and an Orient (first year with only a few blossoms) don't show any damage although they bloomed a bit later. I also do not see any of this damage on a couple of Asian pear trees in my yard. Most of the blossoms this first Kieffer are not affected it seems.
