Hello all,

I recently found your group, and I have been reading posts with interest. I
have a pre-established peach tree in the house I moved into last summer.
Altho it bore plenty of fruit they developed black blotches on them and they
all rotted away. I bought some spray but was informed it was too late to
save them by the time I got it.

My question, tho, is all of the leaves are drooping, and many are 50-75%
covered in yellow spots. They are also starting to shed. Is this related to
the fruit problem, or is there an issue with the soil? Any help would be
much appreciated.

Hi, I hadn't heard anything back so I thought I'd attach a picture. Does
anyone have any advice please?

Is there any way you can take a photo without the glare and much closer to the
bark and foliage so we can see that? Also, I don't mind, but binaries are not
supposed to be posted to newsgroups unless it's a binaries group. Please post
the photo to a website if you can.

I can take another pic but I don't have a web page - sorry :-(

Should I? I don't want to annoy the group...

James, there is a "Cancel-Bot" that scans through messages posted to
Usenet and eliminates those that are in violation of agreements set up
when each newsgroup was started. The agreements are summarized at:
http://austin.frenzy.com/austin/ among other places.

We used to have a better FAQ posted specifically for austin.gardening
but it has not survived. If you post a message with an attached
binary file to any of the "Text Based" newsgroups like this one, the
message will be deleted by the Bot when it is found.

Also, if you see a message posted here that is clearly inappropriate,
if you just ignore it, the message will likely be deleted fairly soon.
Of course that would do James no good as no one would have noticed his
plight.

Maybe someone who has solved this dilemma can post a hint as to how
you can convenient put an image somewhere where James can link to the
URL.

I thought Roadrunner came with free website space, but if you
don't have time to set that up, you can start a photo album at
photos.yahoo.com , and upload your pictures there and post the links.

Many news-servers delete posts with binaries in non-binary groups.

James (and anybody else who doesn't have a place to put photos), go to
http://tinypic.com. They'll let you browse a photo off your computer
and put it where anybody can see it. You may have to scroll down the
page to see the URL for the picture you've uploaded. For example:
http://tinypic.com/aa6bm which was sent to my by my mother. ;-)

Thanksall for your help - I do have a roadrunner webpage but I've never used
it or learned HTML. I took dt's advice and have posted 2 pics he

and

Thank you all for your replies - hopefully you can see a little clearer what
might be going on with the tree.

James,

You do have a website - http://home.austin.rr.com/lushey - you probably
just don't have any html "webpage" files loaded there.

But, you can place *any* file into that directory, and post a link
thusly:

http://home.austin.rr.com/lushey/filename.extension

and most browsers will open or download the file.

croaking...........:-(

Did you get any advice or try to do anything with it? I'd hate for this tree
to die...

It looks exactly like my peach tree did this past spring. It died. There
was a bulbous, spongy, sappy something at the base -- about as big as your
fist. It had not had any peaches until this year. The virmints got the
peaches and then the tree died. I sawed off the limbs and I'm using it for
a trellis to train a climber on. Serves some purpose at least.

Hello all,

I recently found your group, and I have been reading posts with interest.
I
have a pre-established peach tree in the house I moved into last summer.
Altho it bore plenty of fruit they developed black blotches on them and
they
all rotted away. I bought some spray but was informed it was too late to
save them by the time I got it.

My question, tho, is all of the leaves are drooping, and many are 50-75%
covered in yellow spots. They are also starting to shed. Is this related
to
the fruit problem, or is there an issue with the soil? Any help would be
much appreciated.

Got to be honest, your leaves look quite different. Mine have really
specific yellow dots on them, that in some cases have taken over the whole
leaf. They're much droopier, and started dropping a few months ago. Also the
fruit was infected with some kind of fungus, so I wasn't able to sample a
single one. This is the first garden I've "owned" so I was hoping it wasn't
just dying. My guess is the tree is only about 6 or 7 yrs old. I wish yours
all the best, but they really look like different problems. Thanks for
responding tho,

James.
