We don"t have peaches, but the pear trees are setting fruit.
We have one tree on the south part of the property and two on the north end. The two on the north end got some sort of disease 4 or 5 yrs ago. They would bloom, set fruit and leaf out. Then the leaves would turn brown and die.
I don"t know much about fruit trees, but someone said it was fire blight and there wasn"t anything you could do but cut the tree down.
Last year I sprayed the trees with a mix of baking soda and soap as they were blooming and leafing out. It worked! The parts of the trees I got with the spray remained healthy while the parts I couldn"t get, the leaves turned brown and died.
