| One pear tree look perfect so far the other has leaves as shown in the photo. Anyone know that the problem is? |

| That is undoubtedly a bacterial problem that is most likely due to humid/moist weather. Monitor it...but these are usually minor issues. |
|
| Yes there has been wet weather for a week. The week before the wet weather came the leaves looked perfect. |

| Here in NY some pear varieties are easy to grow and others are very difficult at some sites. Between scab, fabracea and pear psyla, I usually don't get a precise bead on the issue but can keep pears healthy with a 2% early oil spray and several aps of a good pear fungicide like Flint or Mancozeb and sometimes a follow up insecticide that can handle psyla (not counting a couple insecticide sprays to protect fruit). What is the variety that is suffering? If the tree defoliates by about mid-summer you will need to either do a lot more spraying or grow tougher varieties. If it is just a few leaves that look like that then forget my advice and let the tree be. |

| The pear trees received an oil spray but no fungicide. The damaged leaves are from a Bartlet pear tree. A Moonglow next to it looks ok. A Keiffer tree I have has a small amount of damage. |

| Never seen that before. Only issue i've ever had with pears is blister mites...that looks totally different. Sounds good what others have said. |
