Hi!
If there is no hope for fruit sales! I would do a good rate of copper/Manzate to make sure all fireblight shoot blight is shut down. Manzate has a 77day phi so no fruit sales if applied now. Not sure manzate/copper would be of any value for FB. Strep within hours after the storm is good. I would do several periodic applications of capatan/ziram to ensure that no rots develope in the wood, shoots, trunks- ie black rot, white rot or necteria canker which can get established- the copper will help with the necteria canker. I would guess that within hours/days wood wounds would not be susceptible for any more pathogen infection. So why would periodic sprays be needed? Vincent Philion IRDA
