Having an issue with what I believe is Fire Blight in this Asain Pear. Started with black spots on the leaves and now the east side of the tree the leaves are turning black. Do I spray? Do I take off the black leaves? There is about 70+ other trees in this block ranging from newly planted to...

Simple question. After I graft the scion to the rootstock and it heals, can I then just plant it where it was planned to go? or does it need a year or longer til it can be planted?

Anyone know of a good source for McIntosh on Bud9 rootstock? i'd even consider m9. i need 30 for panting either this fall or early spring.

Nope, Should I have? And What should I have used?

Sprayed the orchard last night. I knew there was a chance of rain but with my work schedule I wouldn't be able to spray for another week. I only used a teaspoon per gallon, how effective is my work last night? Should I spray again? my original plan was to spray last night and again Sunday the...

As we get into spring it's time to start thinking about the spray schedule for the orchard. What are good alternatives to Imidan? I'm not 100% against spraying it, I just have trees that are close to my personal home, so that is concerning.

Anyone know what size height and width to expect from a G935 dwarf tree from cummins Nuresery?

Those look alot like Hosui Asain Pears but much smaller in size.

I am not too far away from you, my property is near the Mi/Oh border just outside of Toledo. A week ago, I wen't out at dusk and saw a few Codling Moth's on some apples. I set a trap at each tree and had 3 or 4 moths in each trap the next day. Haven't seen any since. the damage thus far seems to...

IMO, really depends on your insect pressure. In my orchard I am catching Codling Moths and have applied another cover spray for the fruit not yet ready for harvest. on my new planted trees I had an Aphid issue a few weeks ago and sprayed Malathion to control them. So yes, i am still spraying...

The tree was already here when I bought the property. Previous owner planted about 5 years ago. Seems to ripen beginning of September to mid September. Crisp and is a little tart, white flesh, large brown seeds.

First, I want to say thanks in advance for some of my stupid help questions. Ya'll have lots of knowledge and I have only 2 years of growing experience when growing fruit so lots of my issues are all new to me. Please see attached pics, anyone got a clue what variety this is?

So, there is 2 different types of sevin? I assume you mean I shouldn't spray this?

Can I spray sevin on them when they were just planted in May?
