Q.I Have Two Pear Trees
I have two pear trees that are about two years old. They have good growth this year, but they both have limbs and leaves that turn completely black and wilt. I cut the black off and the limb starts to turn black as well. I can’t think of any disease, and I am wondering if there is something in the soil. The trees are over 50 feet apart. Any ideas on what this may be?
