I have been trying to do this for about 5 years in central NJ with minimal

experience. For example.
Without some sort of fungicide most peaches and plums are lost to
fungal disease. Without pesticides most apples are extensivly scarred and
However, on the West Coast plums often make it without any pesticides.
Really, dry air cuts disease down dramatically.
I can see dry air reducing the fungus problems, but what about the insects?
If you have none, you are truely blessed.
