Fire blight risk remains low. Have a great Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival weekend!

This is Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival weekend in Winchester, so for those of you in the area who want one more assurance that there will not be a fire blight problem until later next week here it is: As shown in the Maryblyt graphic below, predicted risk remains low through May 6, then becomes high as the temperatures rise and wetting occurs by May 8, with infection indicated on late bloom May 10-12. So, for now, go ahead and have a great BLOOM (or whatever)! The Maryblyt forecast will be updated May 6.
