Hi Dan!
The best we have so far is that it was so dry during bloom in most areas
that even though epiphytic populations of bacteria were tremendous, they
never got washed into flowers to cause infection. Another possibility is that
the extremely dry weather suppressed bacterial growth,
Hi!
Maine had two bouts of fire blight weather during bloom, one at very
beginning and second at very end.
We rarely observe symptoms in relation to the first recorded infection event
during bloom. Actually, while validating the RIMpro-erwinia model
Hi Tim! nice to read you!

environment in the northeastern USA due to your woodlots and forests (with
feral apples and native hosts such as Hawthorne) as contrasted with the
treeless conditions around many eastern

especially on Paulared. Every tree had 3-4 clusters on borse shoots into
mid-June. We did use one strep spray on several varieties with this
bloom. Also it is probably not a good idea to neglect cutting root suckers
that
