Last year I pruned my Bartlee pear tree, removed some of the leaves with the cankers and clean the ground under the tree very carefully. Now it is covered in orange spots. Anything I can do now? There is a big juniper tree in my neighbor's yard a short distance away. Anything I can do now? And in the future?
