Fireblight and 20th Century Asian pear

[benthegirl]

way back in 2015 @mamuang warned us about 20th C pear… =(

Pear tree Fireblight research so you dont have to

I have Blake’s Pride, Harrow Sweet, 20th Century, Korean Giant and Hosui. Only 20th C got blossom blight. The blossoms on that branch got wiped out by blight that wet spring. The branches was not affected. Otherwise, nothing got blight. The trees are from 3-8 years old. Pear blister mite is another story

It’s on quite a few “resistant” lists but it seems like maybe it shouldn’t be…
