On some of my pears on the pear tree, there is this odd growth on it. It's kinda of like dandelions I guess, I don't know how to describe it. Out of like 20 pears on the tree we picked today, we saw 2 pears that that were still on the branches that had this super weird white growth on it. It's fuzzy & white like dandelions, but super tiny like needles coz it's got a white fuzzy head & the bottom is thin like a needle stuck into the pear. Now if it was a patch of this weird fuzzy growth, I wouldn't be so freaked out, the weird thing about this is that, it's not a patch or a line of this weird growth that looks like white needles stuck to the pears, but it grows lined up in a perfect spiral shape about 1 inch wide...!!!!!!! These white fuzzy needles grow away out of the pears about a half inch off the surface of the pears...weird. Does anyone know what this could be??? Is my 15+yr pear tree infected with some weird disease or something? Or contaminated by an insect? Thanks!
