diseased pears

these are the parker pears. i think they have pear scab, also called black spot. its a fungus.




its on the leaves too






the fungal spores kinda rub off. they dont rub AWAY, but it turns my fingers brown.


humid conditions make it worse, and we've had a very rainy spring and summer. (ended up being the wettest year on record)


these are the luscious pears. i think they have pear psylla. its a tiny bug that turns the skin into brown russetting.




theres some of the russeting from pear psylia on the parker pears too


summercrisp are looking good




patten are looking good
