- Can you please send pictures of the entire tree and surrounding area, as well as close ups of the trunk and undersides of the leaves?
- What kind of pear tree is it?
- Where is the tree planted in your yard?
- When did you first notice problems with the tree, and has this happened before? Is the whole tree affected?
- Was this tree hit by hail?

On the leaves:

- Have you noticed honeydew, sticky leaves, or insects/any signs of insects on the leaves?

On the trunk and branches:

- Is there any damage or insects?

Basic care questions:
