Pear Tree

Well I'm no expert, but from those shots it looks like some type of insect, or maybe spider, has used you tree as a nursery for it's eggs, which is what I'd guess the little black dots in the left hand picture are.

 

Hi Chuck,

Are those pics upside down?

 

Looks like spider webs to me too, have you tried using your hosepipe on it?

 

Hahahaha Woo,:D Pete will be along soon, ill bet a squillion quid he knows what it is:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

A lot of web doesn't necessarily mean a *huge* spider, I reckon the hosepipe plan is a good one, unless you have a problem with killing insect eggs?
If it is just a spider then it's probably not going to do your tree any harm in the long run, but if it's some sort of insect whos young eat pear trees you probably want to get that stuff off ASAP!

 

When they do hatch I think I would probably choose to be somewhere else either way.

A bit like the progeny of Ungoliant perhaps!

If you can get a pic of whatever does come out share it so i know

a) what it is

b) you still have arms and legs left afterwards.


PS you never did get back to me with those rose books i asked about, you!
