Patently incorrect. I grow peaches organically and they are the most
mouth watering, perfect fruits around. The trouble with annual
production is that in Texas we may not get enough chill hours for
fruit. So, it's not a great idea to make a statement that no such
animal as an organic fruit. It's inaccurate.

Do a search for a catalog called Garden's
Alive. They give excellent photos of diseases of fruits and the
organic remedy.


Some of their products are ok, but some is just a lot of hype. Many of their

'cures' are quite expensive. You pay a high price to go organic.

I didn't say to buy any of them, but that there are great photos in
their catalog of diseased and pests associated with fruits. I also
don't know where you get the idea going organic is more expensive.
It's useless to debate, your mind is made up.
