Is it blight?
I recently bought a few trees from the depot of homes. The day after I brought them home I noticed both of my pears had several leaves that were black and wilted and one pear had a whole limb that was toast. Being new to trees, I immediately hopped on the internet to be scared by the first result I could find. Of course fire blight is the most common thing that pops up for pears so I set to work amputating tree limbs. I resisted the urge to completely decapitate the young trees for fear of killing them but I also fear that I did not get rid of the problem. I am still getting a leaf here or there turning black, wilting, then falling off. The apple and peach that I got at the same time don’t really look all that great either. Could it just be sick trees? Should I bother even putting these trees in the ground?
