Fire Blight Spreads to Bradford Pears ...

Valued Customer,
We have recently noted in our area the spread of fire blight amongst Bradford Pears and several other ornamental species. Fire Blight is a serious, contagious disease which if left untreated or treated improperly can spread quickly and will eventually kill the tree. As your landscape management company, Shenandoah Landscape Management Services, Inc. would like to provide you with an overview of Fire Blight.
Fire Blight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, is a serious, contagious disease of ornamental species such as plum, crabapple and Bradford pear. In the past Bradford Pears had been on what was considered one of the tolerant or resistant cultivars, however, we have recently noted in our area where it is starting to spread amongst Bradford Pears. Figure 1
Symptoms:
The blossoms and leaves wilt suddenly, turning dark brown to black-scorched by fire appearance, shrivel, and die, but will usually remain attached to the tree. (Figure 2) Leaves are often infected through the petiole and, on some plants, blackening of the petiole and adjacent tissue can be seen before the whole leaf dies.
Primary infections usually occur through the flowers at the bloom, but bacteria quickly spreads to twigs and leaves. The bacteria overwinter in cankers and begins multiplying in the spring. Milky white to cream-colored bacteria, may ooze from the cankers in the spring. The bacteria grow most rapidly at 75 ̊ to 84 ̊F.
The disease can be disseminated by wind-blown rain, certain insects, and pruning tools. Infection can be especially severe after hail storms.
Control:
During the late summer when bacterial growth slows, all infected twigs and branches should be pruned out and burned or buried.
The cut should be made through healthy wood 6 to 8 inches below the point of the visible infection. Cankered areas on large branches and trunks should be pruned out during the dormant season.
Extremely important – Pruning tools should be sterilized with each cut with rubbing alcohol or to prevent introducing the bacteria to new wood. Branches should not be left laying on the ground, again, all infected material must either be burned or buried to prevent the spread of infection.
Additional information about Fire Blight can be found at the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
If you have questions or concerns about trees on your property please give Shenandoah Landscape Services a call at 571.229.0216 to schedule an appointment with one of our Certified Arborists.
Kind regards,
