red blisters on pear tree leaves
« on: April 23, 2010, 14:11 »
I thought this year my newish pear tree was going to be ok.  Last year it suffered badly with red blisters on the leaves and the leaves curling up.
I cut off everything and pruned it really hard back in the autumn and again in the spring.  However, today I have noticed that they are back, though the little tree is covered in blossom!!!
Any suggestions?  Is there something systemic I could spray on whatever it is?
Many thanks

No my pear hasnt got red blisters but it has got what looks like leaf curl  :unsure:
Its like yours covered in flowers but the leaves look terrible, same last year, almost looks like the curl peach trees get. I asked at the GC last year and she had no idea and then she joked maybe the tree wants to be a peach tree instead  ::) ???

I used to get this regularly at my last house. It's called peach leaf curl but will affect other fruit trees. It's a fungus born on wind and rain and once you get it, its super difficult to get rid of it. I kept pulling off infected leaves and feeding the tree well with liquid fish emulsion (my preference for this) and lots of secondary leaves soon appeared infection free - for that season.

Here's a lot more info on it:
