Hi, looking for some help with this pear tree. The leaves appear to have some fungus or parasite? Any ideas what it could be and a natural way to solve the problem. Thanks in advance
It's either Pear Blister Mite or Pear Rust. Either way there are no treatments, but it's not usually a major problem 2 of my 5 pears have it so far this year. If there are just a few leaves pick them off and put them in the household waste., but picking too many can hurt the tree and reduce the harvest. I leave mine to get on with it. It doesn't look very nice, but isn't usually a serious problem Just make sure they're not sort of water
PS - dispose of the fallen leaves in autumn in the HH waste/Green bin too

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
