Hi guys can any one help me by telling me what the black is on my leaves on my new pear tree It has only started in the past few weeks Fresh from bunnings I live in Perth Western Australia near the coast Any help would be great thanks
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
