Scarecrow
Yearling... With promise
I believe several of my apple and crab apple trees have Fire Blight.
The past 2 years come Spring time the trees look healthy.....start to bud and bloom....then the new end growth wilt...turn black....the die back.
The trees then struggle all summer.
I took pics the best I could to show the effected ends.
Is this indeed Fire Blight? I’ve read numerous articles on how to treat.....prune off all effected limbs 8” back from effected areas....then spray with a vinegar/water solution.
Is this the best treatment and when should I do this....now?
