Peach tree leaf drop

General Fruit Growing

I have noticed some leaf drop on our Red Haven peach trees. There are some small holes in the leaves. Of the 3 trees, the eastern one has a pretty good amount on the ground, hiding about 3/4 of the mulch. The tree itself looks healthy with vigorous growth. A fair amount of water shoots are shooting up. Looking at the tree, you would not notice any leaves are missing.

The trees are on a stepped hillside, so no standing water. We have had plenty of rain but not excessive. surrounding lawn is green and lush

We sprayed on 5-6 days ago, Triarizide and captan as we have done 14 days ago.

any ideas?

Peach trees can drop green leaves when they get a lot of water/rain. I think this was what happened to your trees. They will recover fine.
