I have pyracantha growing beneath the bays at the front of my house - they were planted many years ago and until 2016* were trimmed with shears and secateurs; they now show signs of fireblight - I've been cutting out the black shoots but i'm keen to know more about the fungus spray mentioned in previous posts could you give me more details

any advice/comment would be appreciated
thank you
