Quince has brown rusty spots and patches on leaves

[TalkativeJim]

It's a tree in a (HUGE) pot, four years old, about 1.5m high. Has never fruited.

We moved this year and so it was out of the pot and root ball wrapped for a couple of months (!)

Repotted and well fertilised. Looked fine. Well watered over this dry spell.

But now, rust patches. Think it started before the really dry spell.

I've read that they like to be wet, so maybe my lots of watering hasn't been enough.

Any ideas of what I should do, if anything?

I wasn't too worried about the non-fruiting as last year (its third year) was so bad nothing had any fruit, and this year it's been through a lot of nonsense with the storage etc. But maybe I should be and maybe it's a goner?

Do they like being well fertilised?

Thanks for any help!

I think it's called fire blight. We've had 3 trees killed by it, at about the same stage as your's, and have, sadly, given up on growing them. Perhaps we could have sprayed, but I don't like spraying trees.

Oh no!

Thanks for the response carlajean. I'll google it...
