| I have two peach trees in my backyard here in Las Vegas, NV. One of them
| had its fruit ripen earlier than the other and had no fruit quality
| problems. My second and bigger peach tree is now getting ripe fruit.
| This fruit is bigger. However, about 60 percent of the fruit is rotten.
| I estimate about 60 percent of the fruit is affected. There are
| various sized external "rot holes or just surface indications of it
| being rotten. The fruit is soft and very mushy inside and is an off
| color inside. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Is the damage on the same side of every fruit? If so, does this side face
south? The damage could be sun scald.

Could also be anthracnose...
