Peach tree bleeding like crazy
Shiva said:
My Peach tree, of about 8 years old, 7 feet tall, variety unknown, has suddenly started bleeding sap from hundreds of tiny spots all over. Thne leaves have all but dried up and fallen off, the ends of the twigs are dead and dry too. This happened within days. The tree is about 50' away from two others, and about 20 feet from another peach tree, none of the others have the same problem. I don't know if I can add pic here, which I took yesterday, so I put them on a mini-page whrich you can visit by going to http://www.westside.ca/peaches Your tree is history. Destroy it immediately. Inspect the other trees for any sign of peach tree borers. You will need to consider a spray program to protect them. Sometimes the trunks of the trees are painted white to protect the bark from winter injury and discourage borers from laying their eggs (they prefer to lay eggs at cracks in the bark). http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/bugrevi...treeborer.html There are new approaches to control peach tree borers (using pheromones to disrupt their mating) but I don't know how practical or available they would be for the typical gardener. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
