Why has most of the blossom on my fruit trees wilted and died?

Our Advice:

This is blossom wilt, a fungus that also causes brown rot of fruit. Spores overwinter on dormant buds and infect flowers as they open. Spray with Systhane Fungus Fighter from Bayer or Fungus Fighter Plus Concentrate from Westland before the flowers open next year.
