Salt, it is aweful and thanks berry & clk; unfortunate, but probably best to cull. Was hoping for different, but think fire blight is systemic and tough to eradicate.
Looking for a dwarf apple tree with for both ornamental and produce appeal. Of course, will look for fire blight resistant. I never thought about that, like Salt, never heard of her until my pear tree went down in flames.
Getting this guy up may be a chore, it is in a hand planted isolated area. Can't back the truck up and tie up with logging chain & not interesting in having a "stump" in the main garden area. I guess, where there is a will - there is a way.
Thanks for the grim replies, it has helped validate. Have a good day!
