My one year old peach tree (San Jose, 9B) lost 60-70% of the leaves last week. I just ran my fingers through the branches and the rest fell down. I removed the leaves on the ground and any mummified fruit and sprayed them with @JoeReal’s Italian dressing. I see people in ultra-low chill areas strip the leaves to improve their chill hours, so I am guessing it should be ok to strip the leaves of your nectaplum and spray all the trees. My challenge was finding the recommended half a day window of no rain to spray the tree. Luckily there was a break last weekend.
