Apple Losses Due to Fireblight A fireblight epidemic in 2000 killed 220,000 young trees outright and severely damaged 80,000 prime bearing age trees. These 300,000 trees, on 1,100 acres, were reported as killed by fireblight on the 2000 Rotational Fruit Survey. Growers in the Southwest Fruit District (Allegan, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, and Van Buren Counties) lost 950 of the 1,100 acres. Trees planted before 1991 were removed mainly due to the death of the bearing surface and the uncertainty about when the trees would bear fruit again. There were 500 acres and 80,000 trees in that category. There were 600 acres and 220,000 young trees, planted in 1991 and later, that died immediately. Those acres and trees are shown by year planted, variety, and rootstock in the following three tables. The fireblight damage reported here was as of January 2001, when data collection ended for the survey.
