Permacultureandpolitics<p>I haven’t used Surround because it clogs sprayers. I bagged fruit instead, which isn’t too labor intensive if you do it while thinning, but is a waste of time if you do it much after about 5/1 in my area, because coddling moths are already looking for fruitlets in early May. I was late to bag, but still going to get a lot more usable fruit than if I hadn’t. But this year we also had 105 degree days in June, so lots of sunburn. Bags may have increased the burn. <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/orchards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orchards</span></a> <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a></p>
Permacultureandpolitics<p>The only pear at HOEC with boron deficiency. I have never seen this. Manager said she is going to cut the tree down.

Permacultureandpolitics<p>Anthracnose virus on a young golden russet. Made me sad to find it too late to save the tree. Need to cut down to the rootstock and see how that’s doing (it is leafed out, so may be ok.). So anthracnose is recognizable by its golden paper edges and stringy bits. <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/orcharding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orcharding</span></a> <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/Orchards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Orchards</span></a> <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/apples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apples</span></a> <a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a></p>
