A long, cool spring here in Southern California allowed quite a few FB strikes, three days in the low to mid-90's stopped it in its tracks. Formerly limp shoots with sticky ooze and now crispy and dry, and pruned stumps do not get re-infection. That's all I'll see of it until next spring, weeks of 100+ weather and 5% humidity sees to that. Unfortunately it doesn't slow down the CM a bit, which is my next nemesis on the calendar.
