This was my first year on land we just purchased with 75 Peach trees that are 5-7 years old. Your video helped me identify some of the conditions I saw in August. I'm going to try waste Whey next season as we have a small cheese maker a few miles away. From what I read, the spores do not latch on as easy and die. It can be acidic so lime helps. Unknown if it would benefit the mychorizal Fungi in the soil. It's diverse, and not sprayed often, so maybe.

Your vedio was very helpfull but I still have some questions

Dang that sucks. Gorgeous peaches.

What do you guys think about Surround WP the Kaolin clay crop protectant . I’m currently battling plum curculio on my peach’s plum nectarines . I’m hoping the clay spray and captan and malathion mixture will give me fruit again for the first time in 5 years . Got fruit the first year after that bug city lol

can you point me to the video about micorhizal fungal beneficial organisms ? Thank you. We have brown rot really bad. I didn't realize what was going on until it was too late almost all of the peaches were affected.

Sorry to hear about your brown rot problem . I don't have a specific video that I can direct you to. However, there are many videos that I have reviewed information on the mycorrhizal fungi. Sorry that my videos are not organized well.

My trees have that rot.They are not doing good lost some. Let me know the name of the stuff to use on them. Your fruit looks nice except for the rot.

what spray will control rot on peaches?

hi, I just bought a peach tree that's about a year old-- no fruit on them quite yet but the leaves have holes with brown rings that I google identified as brown rot (let me know if this is incorrect). I'm worried that the tree won't survive because it's so young. Do you have any advice? Can I still follow this video even though the tree isn't fruiting yet?

If the holes are small and there are multiple tiny holes it may be a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris

Kevin I'm sorry that you're having problems with the fruit trees, bummer. I'm interested to know if you had maintained the trees really well but we're still having the problem how many years before you'd get rid of that root stock, or would you try grafting it before getting rid of it? Kate 🌻

Hi Kate thanks again for another great question. The short answer is I just don't know yet. I believe if I had gone through all the appropriate steps that I know of including inoculating the soil with mycorrhizal fungi and removed affected parts of the trees then I would only wait one year and pull that tree. Once a chronic disease process has a well established foothold on an organism that leaves that organism susceptible to the development of underlying disease processes possibly affecting the trees root and circulatory system. For example a few years ago the plum tree that produced bountiful crops worse each year developed brown rot and I had neglected to care for it appropriately when I first noticed the infection. As a result the tree started weeping sap that continually became reinfected each season. The weeping of a sap without an injury makes the tree more susceptible to infections. So I elected to remove that tree because I considered it a source of reinfection that would affect neighboring trees. That's what happened on our first food forest. Those trees were Santa Rosa variants and based on my experiences so far they appear to be more susceptible to this challenging fungal disease. Thanks for the question, you always ask the best questions!

@@GrowingABetterTomorrow so does this mean I should probably remove all my peach trees? the ones that are infected are volunteers and make beautiful lovely peaches that taste delicious. Is the best answer to remove the trees? Or are you saying this is new for you so I should consult an expert?

Does the ground need to be treated after infected fruit drops on it?

Hi Linda, I just posted a video on my approach to dealing with Brown rot in our food forests. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p42Htc2fidnNp84.html Yes all material that is infected needs to be removed. I hope this is helpful.

I have few questions regarding my peach trees can I talk to you on phone?

So here's a question. This year, I have a total of about 120 peaches over 2 trees, and EVERY SINGLE FRUIT was consumed within days with brown rot. It prepetuates itself on mummified fruit from the year before? Well guess what? Last year I didn't have ONE blossom, nor one peach on my entire farm. Not a single fruit. So how did it perpetuate itself? Next year, during may, I plant to ge the strongest funcgicide I can lay my hands on and spray the trees every 24 hours.

Hi Brock I'm not certain exactly what your question is however I will give it a shot. Brown rot is a fungus that survives throughout the winter months and in the spring the fungus begins to grow again and ultimately produces spores during the cool damp spring months. The spores are then quite easily spread to neighboring blossoms as the buds begin to open. This can be facilitated by rain, winds, insects, birds etc. Even during the morning hours when there's condensation on the blossoms that's sufficient for the spores to get established and spread the brown rat fungus. My belief is that this fungus is an opportunistic infection. There are multiple factors which we just discussed including cool moist environment, insects, birds, wind etc that all contribute to the seeding of the infection by the spores. However it is my contention that this opportunistic infection is encouraged by the absence of beneficial microorganisms that are typically on the bud's surface of the plants. Having said that once you have had brown rock fungus on a tree. It is very difficult to eliminate all of the fungal elements that are on the twigs, peach pits, cherry pits, leaf litter, and other sources that are on the ground. Including the grasses and wood chips

My phone rang so I had to cut my answer short. So one of the things that I think helps to enhance the health of tree to better ward off any unwanted opportunistic invaders. Is to provide them with beneficial microorganisms. There are beneficial microorganisms sprays that have many microorganisms that can help to break down harmful residues left from a brown rot infection. I also recommend using mycorrhizal fungi to help extend the root system of the fruit trees to allow them to make contact with other beneficial plants and microbes that will help to translocate nutrients that will help to enhance the immune system of the fruit trees. I hope you find this helpful. I'm sorry that you're having such challenges with this frustrating brown rot fungal infection. Have a great day!

Happy spraying. There are no organic peaches anywhere. I spray bonide at dawn on calm days and have lots of bees, healthy trees, life is good.
