 And have you seen an
 uptick in copper levels in leaf analysis when you apply to
 soil?

 For
 the first year ever I havent seen any FB here is western
 Illinois, could it be th 86 degree days we had burned it
 out, I believe FB burns out after a few hot days, some dont
 believe this but experience has taught me it is true, Shoot
 bligt and root sucker blight has allways been a problem, I
 am sceptical that these antobiotic sprays work at all, only
 good for the blooms and chemical dealers, Copper does work
 well on young hursery and non-bearing trees that get shoot
 blight where your not woried about fruit finish, My person
 opiniion, low soil levels of copper, (do a leaf anayisis)
 make the tree stressed and contribute to FB. Just my 2 cents
 worth, Lee Elliott, Upstart Nursery, Winchester Illinois
