    Hi bertoli55

    The new leaves on the pear tree are all green and lush but I'm still getting a few random burnt leaves, so I took a leaf back to bunnings and the girl said she did not know what the problem was and put it down to lack of water...But as I said it's a random thing and it gets alot of water.

    Do you have any idea's?

    How is your Garden going? been a nice warm day today

    Hi
    it could be lack of water but it looks more like bug damage to me. Keep a lookout for mites or thrips. If you're getting random damaged leaves and your watering/fertilising regime is ok I'd give the plant a squirt with something like Confidor. Is your pear tree in the ground or a pot?
    38.4C was a bit of a shock to the system after such a cool november. I was a bit worried that my garden would be a mess as I've done lots of planting over spring but everything went well -probably better than me :). Hope your garden survived ok. ciao bertoli
