I planted a peach and nectarine tree in my backyard at the beginning of the year, and while they started off well I ran into issues pretty quickly. First, I noticed brown spots on the leafs and then leaf drop (probably because I was spraying with a copper fungicide to much). The trees never recovered until the weather cooled off and now they seem to have healthier leaves with fewer brown spots. Upon closer inspection I noticed a lot of dead branches on both but more so on the peach. I suspect coryneum blight or a canker but I am not sure. Does anyone know what it could be, and what advice would you have to help the tree recover?
The red color on the leafs is because its fall so I am not concerned about that.
I have the same problem and as far as I can tell it is peach leaf curl. This year I’m going to try copper since Immunox and sulfur and Daconil simply don’t work.
I thought shothole started in the late summer/fall. That’s when it would attack my cherries before I pulled them. This starts in early spring, late March or early April.
Symptoms do let up for me as the year goes on, although I still have some symptoms even right now. I had thought higher temps in the summer suppressed the disease.
