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.
