Location: Nanaimo, Vancouver Island can we save pear trees severely infected by rust? What tactics are worth trying?
I'm not aware of any way to save the pear trees except by removing the Junipers that are the alternate host for the rust.
There are two different rusts present on pears in our region. Find discussion of their characteristics and control here: Tree Fruits (Pear) | Hortsense | Washington State University (wsu.edu)
Thank you, we’d like to save the trees and don’t have junipers although neighbours do. Thank you I will check it out, pear trellis rust
