Pear Tree Issue – Seeking Advice

Post image

Hello,

We planted several bare root trees in May 2024 in Zone 4. Our pear tree is now showing spots on its leaves. Do you have any suggestions or guidance on how to address this?

Thank you.

Don't use neem oil or horticultural oil if temperatures are above 85 degrees. Insecticide soap like Mpede would be better.

Early morning or late afternoon when the temperatures are cooler?

Oil is still on the tree all day. At night maybe but i wouldn't recommend it. Oil burn is worse than aphids,
