Is it time to spray this pear for FB?

[k8tpayaso]

My pear that I think is Orient that had a small strike last year is about to bloom. Do I spray now or wait until blooms open?

Yes it is I would hit it now before the flowers open.

[k8tpayaso]

I have Streptomycin. Is that what I should use?

[TurkeyCreekTrees]

That will work

[clarkinks]

I would use copper as well.

I would use copper as well.

A week after the Streptomycin.

I wouldn’t use streptomycin, until you see an actual out break
that pruning won’t control.

In my location I have to spray proactively to prevent outbreaks.

Here, we only use strep, as a last resort.
