Threats of fire blight, rusts and scab.

Scab ascospores and rust spores are mature, and there are threats of cedar-apple and quince rusts and scab infection with the forecast of relatively warm, intermittent showers through tomorrow. Where bloom was open yesterday and there was wetting last night, there is also a threat of fire blight infection. Mildew infection occurred with moderate temperatures throughout this past week.
