You are so right about that fire blight pathogen; once an orchard’s infected, it’s impossible to get rid of it. There just isn’t enough copper or streptomycin spray to control it. I dug and burned the couple acres of rootstock I had and planted ornamentals instead.

Always used copper sulphate to control ponds.
Drive copper nails into stumps to control that...

There were no other orchards anywhere close to me. How fire blight got there was a mystery.

I just got back to the caller saying that “the gloves are off after november.” Yeah right. Naive much.
