One of my pear trees has a lot of the leaves dying back it seems about a 1/3 of the whole tree. It is only in its second year and recently the lowest limbs have been trained to the first tier of the fence.
I have 2 other pear's close to it will they get affected?

Thanks,

Are the dying leaves blackened or just brown and shrivelled?

Hi Trillium,
The leaves that I've seen were only blackened. I have taken the leaves off mine but I have noticed it on neighbouring plots.

I got this some years back with my pear tree planted in a pot as my allotment wasnt ready and couldn't find what problem was. Ended up using some of that disease control stuff and only this year after 3 years has it started producing flowers and pears. Fingers crossed.
