Bradford Pear blight #803140

Asked July 26, 2022, 1:59 PM EDT

I have a 25 ft. tall Bradford Pear with brown leaves. They occur close to the time the tree leafs out. The little reading I have done suggests treating in the early spring. Can you tell me what you recommend? Thanks. Gig'em

Sounds like fire blight. I could not enlarge the images. Please see the attached link with management options. https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/library/landscaping/fire-blight-of-ornamental-pears/

Thanks for the question.
