What to do if pear leaves turn black and dry: causes and solutions
The pear tree is susceptible to various diseases, like any other tree on the site.
Many gardeners are faced with the problem of blackening leaves on their plants.
Causes of leaf darkening
This may be due to a lack of boron in the soil, which causes the leaves to curl.
Dry air can also cause browning, especially in low humidity conditions, causing the edges and tips of the leaves to dry out.
In addition, blackness may indicate a fungal infection.
In this case, the leaves become spotted and this is most often seen at the end of the season.
Another reason could be bacterial burn. In this case, young shoots dry out and the tips of the branches bend downwards.
It is also worth considering the possibility of the plant being damaged by pests.
How to treat a tree
If the cause is scab, then it is necessary to remove the affected areas and burn them.
Then carry out fungicide treatment in three stages, using proven preparations.
To control pests such as mites or aphids, you can use mustard, soap or stove ash.
