Still a issue on my sour cherries

hey folks . i sprayed infuse 2xs the last 10 days on all my sour cherries infected with blossom end blight. it barely slowed it down. sprayed immunox 2xs before. thought i ordered indar but i put it in my box and didnt order it. now its out of stock unless i buy a gal. at near $400. a few weeks ago, on another thread some of you suggested other things to try. i cant find that thread. i already lost 1 tree to this and most of this years crop, so any help to save the rest would be highly appreciated.

I think it was propiconazole, that comes in smaller quantities and worked pretty well for me. Now I use Indar. I’m getting to the bottom of my gallon now after ten years.

I treat it more like FB and cut off the infected parts a little bit back. Those areas are going to die anyways. I could be wrong, but pretty sure no matter what you spray will not help at this stage. That has to be done early in the game as a preventative.

Where did you find smaller bottles of Indar at?

Infuse is ~2% Propiconazole. Dead twigs are supposed to be able to spread the pathogen the next year. Removing the infected fruit may help keep it from getting worse.
