BornToHunt Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I planted 5 reliance peach trees on my property. Went up this weekend and saw that they all had these red spots all over the leaves. Can anybody tell me what it is and how i can treat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's called fire blight. There is a spray but unfortunately it might be too late for the season but its always worth a try. Try to spray in February or early march. There is an organic spray for it which I suggest you use if deer will be eating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nothing to be alarmed about its simply due to the humidity. I work at a garden center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fruit on it this year as the trees are still small. I will spray them this winter. What do I spray them with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It wont kill the tree but it will kill a chunk of of the peaches unfortunately. You will see that the leaves with the red spots will drop and new healthy ones will begin growing again and those are the leaves that will store the blight over the winter. Look around and there should be a number of sprays for it but like i said, i use an organic spray and it works fine when applied at the right time. I missed it this year and i sprayed it in may and it still got rid of it with minimal damage. If I can find where I put it, ill tell you the name.
