Great video 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing I just noticed that on my blackberry bush and had no idea what it was. Now I do and now I know how to treat it. Thank you 🙏🏽
We spray our trees with copper in the spring and then every 10 days with Sevin to keep the bugs at bay. Eric up here the Pear ranchers spray their trees with a white powdery substance that clings to the trees. Driving up the canyon floor are several Pear orchards and all the trees are covered in white. Though the Apple and Cherry orchards are not. We have a small flat area on our property that we planted Dwarf Apple, Cherry and Peach trees, 9 in total. Next month our friends will start building their house on their 1/4 of the Mtn next to ours. Next year we’re planting 2 varieties of Elderberry trees on our property lines. He has a large orchard where they live now, so he’ll be taking care of our small orchard. They have No garden areas so they’ll they will be helping us with our garden, so naturally they’ll take 1/2 the harvest. They’re an older couple and my wife and I are getting older so we can work our land together. They’re a good Christian couple and great friends. Enjoy your day and Be Blessed
Duke has the zoomies & it was caught on the camera, that was a lucky interest to add to an important video. thanks for the help to share the knowledge!!
I have black spot, bad, and it pops up on a different pear tree each year. I had to take all the leafs off of one tree this year, and hosed it down with copper. Unlike blight, black spot doesn’t kill the tree but the one effected seems to stop growing for that year. Mine are too young to bear fruit so I have no idea how it will impact their overall maturity. Great content, alway very helpful, God Bless.
This is the 2nd year I've had to deal with Fire Blight on my pear trees. I did exactly as you did to yours to mine last year. All was good and saw no more blight last year. Crazy weather here in coastal AL has created havoc with all my fruit trees, blueberries & wild huckleberries. After the crazy frigid Christmas freeze we had spring arrive in January 2023 with temps in the 70's-80's and everything came out of dormancy WAY too early. All my fruit trees bloomed & were setting fruit when we had yet another unusual unexpected freeze in March. Temps dropped from mid 70's to 21(F) wind chill in a matter of hours so this took out several of my younger fig trees but affected ALL of the mature trees. Burned the leaves to a crisp, killed back some of the branches and they were even full of baby figs. All the wild huckleberries, blueberries & dewberries were full of fruit (was going to be a bumper crop) but they were basically freeze dried on the bushes even covered with sheets & heavy tarps. Lost all of that fruit. Then 2 weeks ago I noticed Fire Blight damage back on my pear trees. I pruned them once again, making sure to get way below the fire blight damage then sprayed with the vinegar solution, picked up all the dead diseased leaves & baby pears & burned them along with what I had pruned off my 5 trees. Was in the orchard checking everything out 3 days ago, along with checking for any fire blight I may have missed and would you believe I have small patches of NEW BLOOMS and fruit sets on my pear trees??? I've not ever known of a fruit tree to bloom & set fruit twice in one growing season!! My fig trees still have not fully recovered nor fully leafed back out. But then again this was the 6th time since October 2022 that they had leafed back out, freeze/frost knocked them back, then leafed back out. Every month since they lost their leaves for fall in October they have been fully leafed out when another one-night freeze/frost would get them. I lost 3 of my 4 yr old fig trees. Killed down to the ground. 2 have come back from the roots but one never came back, which was my prized Yellow Long Neck fig tree (which has HUGE yellow figs the size of golf balls or larger). It died to the ground but never resprouted from the roots. Our temps are still a bit "cool" for coastal AL for this time of year but it has been great having all the warm temps since January as I planted my potatoes then and have harvested a good many already & waiting on the 2nd crop to flower & die back. I have squash plants growing and NO SQUASH BUGS OR VINE BORERS yet so I may get a few harvests of squash before they hit. My squash plants are already 3 ft across & FULL of blooms. I have tomatoes on my plants and they are all full of blooms. All green beans are up 8-10 inches, as are the eggplant, pumpkins, cucumbers & Chayote Squash. Sweet potato slips have all been made and are planted & look great. I PRAY I will have a garden harvest this year as I had very little last summer & lost all the winter crops & my fruit harvests for this year. Everything seems to be running approximately 2+ months ahead of schedule. The blueberries that were freeze-dried on the bushes were all turning from pink to blue (rabbiteye varieties) and our "NORMAL" blueberry season is end of May into June for most varieties. We even have lightning bugs and I've listened to the ole whippoorwills singing at night which normally doesn't occur until the heat of summer comes. I'm still blessed even with the loss of crops & friut harvests. I was given another day to awaken...even in these crazy times in which we are living. Be blessed always & in all ways brother!
The temps here have been unusually cool as well. This it the mildest spring we have had since moving to East Texas 7 years ago. I am sure the wet cold weather is affecting the trees. I usually get a little blight but this year it is a much greater quantity. Luckily the copper works very well or I would lose a lot of trees. Have a blessed day!
Well, after watching your video. I went out and checked my trees. Noticed 2 of the pear trees had it. So that's one thing I'll be doing tomorrow. Glad a watched your video today. I have a copper fungicide spray I'll be using. Do you use dish soap in your mixture, as a surfacctant? If so how much per gallon. Thanks ahead of time. I know this cold weather has really affected my citrus and my accident treez..... Jeff
Glad the video was timely. I just use the copper by itself. It sticks very well on the leaves without any other additives. Each brand is going to be different. We use Southern Ag and it is 1oz per gallon
I just watched your video from 3 years ago. You were putting chicks in their new home. You said you leave the door closed for a couple of days as they get to know their new home. Do you always leave food in the coop overnight? I think I've heard that some people just leave water. What are your thoughts?.
@@CountryLivingExperience thanks for answering. I guess some people think maybe it stays cleaner if they just sleep. This is my first batch of chicks, so I have a lot to learn.
Watched for the homesteading tips, subscribed because you included Jesus and spiritual wisdom. Love it man! You're doing good work.
Awesome! Welcome to the channel.
Amen. Thank you.
I love the sin analogy and you referencing the Bible.
Amen

Great information thank you for sharing it. God bless you and your family 🙏!
You're welcome. God bless!
Girls are so beautiful, Duke such a good boy ! God has blessed you richly, Eric. So glad you are a grateful steward.
Thank you Judy!
Appreciate this video brother. Fruit trees have always been a battle for me
You're welcome. They are a challenge for sure.
Thank you from the Philippines

I have always had great success with copper.
Your daughters are adorable. My prayers for a good harvest for your family.
Thank you Debra. God bless!
Thanks and regards from Holland
You're welcome
Nobody should like sin. We should all feel ashamed and repent of our sins.
True. Most don't know what sin in though....even Christians.
Duke has the zoomies & it was caught on the camera, that was a lucky interest to add to an important video. thanks for the help to share the knowledge!!
You’re welcome. I think Duke has the zoomies 24/7…lol.
It’s easy to fix a $2.00 problem before it gets to $200 fix. Before long it’s a $2000. So say when can you get to it? Thumbs up 👍
Thank you i lost a pear tree that i planted last year. Im thinking this is what the cause was probably
You're welcome. Hope the next tree does well for you.
Great info. What pear varieties are you growing and are all susceptible to blight?
We have Warren, Ayers, and Kiefer. They have all had blight.
I have black spot, bad, and it pops up on a different pear tree each year. I had to take all the leafs off of one tree this year, and hosed it down with copper. Unlike blight, black spot doesn’t kill the tree but the one effected seems to stop growing for that year. Mine are too young to bear fruit so I have no idea how it will impact their overall maturity. Great content, alway very helpful, God Bless.
Glad it was helpful. Hope you can get that black spot under control. Have you tried the vinegar?
@@CountryLivingExperience I have not, but I’ll try it today. Thanks for that guidance.

Glad the video was timely. I just use the copper by itself. It sticks very well on the leaves without any other additives. Each brand is going to be different. We use Southern Ag and it is 1oz per gallon
@@CountryLivingExperience I also spray the ground it's a no Brainerd, common sense.
👍✊🏾
I’m not sure what kind of copper sulfate to buy. I see a lot of reference to pool chemical on Amazon. Do you have a brand preference?
This is the one we have used for years...amzn.to/3Vm2o5E Southern Ag
Thank you!

I have always just had food in the coop. Never water because of space. My new coop will have both inside.
@@CountryLivingExperience thanks for answering. I guess some people think maybe it stays cleaner if they just sleep. This is my first batch of chicks, so I have a lot to learn.
@@debbiewebber1582 It does not make a difference. They are using the coop as a bathroom all night long anyway.
