What could be the reason?
The first step to saving pear trees is to understand the possible reasons why leaves may turn black and dry out.
This can be caused by a variety of factors, including the following.
1. Lack of water. Insufficient water can cause the leaves to dry out and turn black.
2. Too much water: Too much water can also be a problem, causing various root diseases or rot.
3. Diseases: Pear trees can be affected by various diseases such as anthracnose or pox, which can lead to similar problems.
4. Pests: Attacks by pests such as aphids or spider mites can also cause wilting.
5. Extreme weather conditions such as severe frost or heat can damage the leaves and cause them to dry out.
To begin to fight such a problem, it is important to clearly identify the cause.
You can find examples where some people mistakenly believe that even without identifying the cause they can save their tree, but this is not entirely true.
How to deal with drying leaves
Here many will be surprised, but in reality there are 2 methods that can be used:
• high-quality watering of garden trees is important;
• if the cause is diseases or pests, the tree must be treated with special agents.
You can also encounter situations when the pear simply lacks nutrients. In this case, it is necessary to fertilize the fruit trees.
