Fire Blight Treatment

Fire Blight Disease

Flower Mound residents enjoy beautiful ornamental pear plants in their gardens and landscapes. There are many varieties of pear flowers, such as the Redspire and Trinity, Autumn Blaze, Aristocrat Capital, Chanticleer, Redspire, Trinity, Autumn Blaze or Autumn Blaze. An experienced arbor care professional and plant pathologist can make a huge difference in the appearance of fire blight on pear tree trees.

Fire blight can be caused by bacteria that is easily spread via rain and insects. The bacteria is able to survive the winter months because it lives in cankers on tree trunks and branches. Fire blight bacteria creates milky secretion early in spring from the tree damaged areas. This attracts insects, and then the bacteria spreads to young, new twigs, and eventually the tree’s leaf leaves. Infected branches begin to curl, wilt and eventually turn into black, hooked ends. The affected leaves eventually become unattractive with brown and black spots. Finally, the diseased branches die from dark, deep sores.

How to Diagnose Fire Blight in Ornamental Trees

Flower Mound’s spring season has been wet and rainy, with temperatures rising rapidly. Do not hesitate to call the authorities if your pear trees are beginning to show signs. This disease spreads most quickly and is more severe on trees that have damaged bark or open cankers. It’s usually during spring, when flowers begin to bloom. Tree death can be caused by insufficient diagnosis and treatment. There is no single treatment for fire blight on trees. It is best to contact an experienced Flower Mound tree company and have a certified Arborist diagnose the tree. The Flower Mound Tree Service & Stump Grinding is a professional tree arborist that can help you create a maintenance and treatment program to ensure that your tree survives and thrives.
