Red leaves at the rock pear?
The pear pear is not usually planted in the garden as it was before with a focus on the use of the edible fruit. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that with a coloring of the leaves in bright red in many hobby gardeners good advice is expensive.
Autumn coloring or Copper Rock pear?
If a red pear suddenly appears on a pear, this may be due to a variety of reasons:
One of the most popular varieties of the pear is just because of the magnificent red color of the leaves, the so-called copper-pear. Their leaves not only turn red in autumn, but also show a copper-like shade of red in the bud of fresh leaves. Other pear trees get intensely red colored leaves when the fall is noticeable. However, this autumnal coloration does not always have to be exactly aligned with the calendar. Sometimes red leaves are actually disease symptoms that require special care.
Drought causes premature proclamation
It is not uncommon for pear trees to begin to get completely red foliage in the middle of summer. This can be related to weather events characterized by heat and extreme drought. Although rock bulbs can survive such conditions quite easily, if they are not additionally cast. However, it can happen that the plants are stimulated by the drought stress to premature Verherbstung. In such a case, you should water the affected plants extensively and pay attention to a more constant water supply the following year.
Red leaves as a disease symptom
If the leaves have a mottled surface in various shades of red instead of an optically attractive red color, this may be an indication of the presence of a fungal attack. Rock pears are relatively often affected by the pear grid. This occurs especially in a too close neighborhood of rock pear and juniper, as the juniper acts as an intermediate host. Affected branches should be cut out and disposed of together with the autumn leaves.
