HI, There's a pear tree in the backyard (SW exposure) with pear scab condition and some "web-kind" (suspects it's caterpillars or eggs of some sort???) problem, I have cut off the branches with the "web". My 1st question is how do I treat the "web" problem (I've got the advice earlier to treat the scab problem - thanks). Earlier this year, I've planted a cherry and apple trees quite next to the pear tree. 2nd question is: will the "webby" problem be on the these fruit trees too? The trees are not really doing well - cherry tree leaves are curled inwards and the apple tree doesn't look too healthy either. I lived Vancouver, British Columbia. I must be doing something wrong - please help a confused gardener.
