Re: Hood Pear
I sprayed my pears for blight, codling moth, psyllid, and weeds and averaged about 20 sprays per year. Don't miss that. With all of the insect pressure here it's pretty hard to manage a small 7 acre orchard organically as the perimeters would still get lots of damage. I especially don't miss the organophosphate Guthion (greatly restricted anyways my last year of 1998).
