Hi Dan,

> My guess is that it’s not so much the heat as the humidity,

Optimal for Erwinia is 28°C, but drops off quickly for temperatures above that.

But I think you are right = after bloom dry is key:

Some years, we’re lucky and we get that; A nice dry spell in June conveniently 
stopped our blossom blight from spreading in 2016.
