More Problems with the Peach Tree

My UF Sun Peach Tree is having more problems. Based on in internet research, it's either bacterial spot or captan fungicide spray injury.

In the past week, I sprayed it twice at night with Organacide so it might be injured from captan. I hope this is the problem because maintenance for bacterial spot is copper or choosing a different kind of tree. An article put out by a Virginia college says there's not much you can do for spot other than replacing the tree with a more disease resistant variety.

Many of the leaves are falling after turning yellow. I'm scared all that beautiful fruit will not ripen. We'll see.

  1. I had a very similar problem with a peach tree but, in spite of the poor appearance of the tree, it still produced fantastic fruit. The following year,I sprayed in March and haad no further problems. Good luck
