Thanks Nick - is it likely to affect the blossom and not fruit?


I don't think that it will affect the blossom much, but the loss
of leaves may prevent it fruiting. I am no expert, though. My
peach is a peche de vigne, 15' high, and has to look after itself.
Being a semi-wild variety, it does fairly well. I did treat it
as I described when it was small.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.


The best solution is to build a sort of porch roof over the tree, if you
can keep the rain off it you can stop the problem
