    That looks like pear rust - info here https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=236

  • Regular inspection and removing any affected leaves (orange spots) you see over the growing season will keep it under control.  Don't let the leaves get to the stage where the lumps on the back form as those will release spores which will affect more leaves.

    On very young trees with not many leaves I've had great success by just cutting the affected part of the leaf off, unless it was near the base of the leaf in which case the whole leaf was removed.

     

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • hiya guys thanks for the replies.

    . ive been taking the leaves off as soon as ive been seeing them. pansyface there are no junipers. growing anywhere me . so im not sure where this has come from. is there any kind of treatment i can use as to be fair the tree is 4 years old and has for the first time ever has given me a crop over the past 4 years its only ever bloomed but given no fruit but this year ive had about 30-40 really good size fruit..
