| Unfortunately, based on the information in your description, I am not able to tell you what is happening to your trees. Black spots on peach foliage is not a symtom of the more common peach diseases, but it might be sooty mold growing on honeydew from insects feeding on the tree. When a newly planted tree defoliates, it is a sign of severe stress, possible related to incorrect watering. I would suggest you consult with your local Penn State cooperative extension for help in diagnosing the problem(s). If a chemical control is needed, they will have the most up to date information on what to use and how/when is best to use it for maximum results. Also, they will be able to help you plan out a regular spray control program for your fruit trees. In the meantime, you may find the following publication helpful. It outlines care for both peaches and cherries. http://ssfruit.cas.psu.edu/Sto... Good luck with your new trees! |
