Clever ideas for beer day!

Sharlene, I have several that look like your photos right now- constant heat and humidity along with daily rains has made black spot particularly bad this year. Twilight Zone, Ebb Tide, and a mauve Kordes no id were all completely naked but are producing some new leaves and buds. I expected the 2 plum varieties to be susceptible to bs, so I'm not disappointed with them. And the good thing is once they've defoliated they aren't much of an eye sore because there are other plants blooming around them- they are somewhat camouflaged.
