Foren » Discussions » Pear Rust at new house... How do I protect my Junipers?
So here's the situation:
My wife and I just closed on a house this week and are super excited. There are a couple of apple trees and a pear tree in the back yard. Upon closer inspection, almost ALL of the leaves on the pear tree are showing pear rust (which looks quite nasty, let me tell you).
I was planning on moving all of my trees to the new house this weekend, but REALLY don't want the rust to affect any of my junipers that I've just put some serious money (for me) and time into.
Any advice?
I would like to keep the pear tree (due to privacy), but would consider cutting it down and planting a new tree as well. Is it enough to simply cut off all of the branches with rust?
Hello, I am very sorry to hear about the tree; if you want to cure it, you need to know how bad it is affected to infect other trees or shrubs. My wife and I once bought a plot of land and used boutiquehomeplans.com to build a house. I started planting a couple of trees, bushes and they started getting sick. I used different chemicals, which further damaged the trees until I asked them and their agronomists advised me how to use how to plant the trees correctly if something suddenly did not infect each other. In general or the trees were saved.
