| 1157126 | 2010-11-28 12:03:00 | Hi I've just planted a pear tree and recently I've noticed that a few of the leaves have black edges, like it has been burnt, the leave will become hard and brittle and curl up. www.imagef1.net.nz www.imagef1.net.nz Any advice would be great ~ |

| 1157128 | 2010-11-28 19:13:00 | Nasty .... and hope you're not living next to a commercial orchard if it is fireblight SKT. | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1157129 | 2010-11-28 19:29:00 | Sounds like wind burn, we have the same thing here on our new apple tree, SWMBO has made the garden organic (no nasty sprays) she suggests using neem oil which is available from Mitre 10 you spray it on the leaves | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1157130 | 2010-11-28 20:25:00 | Doubt it is fireblight. Take a leaf in to Palmers or somewhere similar for their opinion. Might only be planting shock if it just new, or spray with copper oxychloride if you think it is fungal. Are all leaves affected, or just a few? | Richard (739) | ||

| 1157132 | 2010-11-28 20:52:00 | Thanks guys ~ At this moment, only a very few leaves are showing this symptom, should I remove those affected leaves or it doesn't matter because it is too late? |

| 1157133 | 2010-11-28 20:58:00 | Nasty .... and hope you're not living next to a commercial orchard if it is fireblight SKT. I' hope it is not fireblight, I'm in Residential area, no orchards nearby :D |

| 1157134 | 2010-11-28 20:59:00 | It's never too late. Take the leaves off if you like, and destroy them just in case, but if any more leaves show symptoms then you will need to take action as suggested. :thumbs: I hope you are keeping it well watered in this hot weather? |
