Combat Fire Blight with Utah Tree Care’s Expert Solutions

Fire Blight is one of the most aggressive tree diseases you can encounter, especially if you have flowering pears, crabapples, or other ornamental trees. This bacterial infection spreads rapidly, causing blackened branches, scorched leaves, and severe dieback. If left untreated, it can destroy the entire tree. What might start as a small burn could quickly turn into a severe issue, and that’s where Utah Tree Care comes in to provide expert treatment.

What is Fire Blight?

Fire Blight is a fast-spreading bacterial infection that affects a variety of trees, particularly those in the Rosaceae family, including flowering pears and crabapples. It begins with a slight browning of leaves and branches, which can easily be mistaken for damage from heat or drought. However, Fire Blight quickly escalates into a larger problem, leading to sudden dieback and ultimately the death of the tree.

Signs of Fire Blight

Recognizing Fire Blight early is key to saving your tree. Symptoms include:

  • Blackened or scorched leaves

  • Wilting and shriveled leaves

  • Sudden dieback of branches

  • Dark streaks along the bark

If you notice any of these signs, act immediately. The longer you wait, the more the infection can spread, making it harder to control.
