From bacterial infections to insect pests, here's what to watch out for with stone fruit.
Q: Are those ugly galls on my peach tree harmful? What can I use to treat them? A: That’s peach leaf curl. It’s a bacterial infection that overwinters on the tree’s twigs, then infects the new growth in the spring. It doesn’t do a lot of damage, but if you want to try to reduce its impact, apply a copper-based fungicide soon after all the leaves have fallen in autumn. The curled leaves on your peaches will be dropping soon if they haven’t already.
How to control thistles Q: What would be causing this to happen to my peach crop? I’ve Googled until I’m cross-eyed. A: Google one more thing. Search for “Plum curculio peaches,” and you will find a ton of matches on this serious insect pest. It’s the larval stage of a snout beetle. Look for university websites for the most trustable information.
