| Hi One of my new peach trees is showing some signs of what I think are bacterial spot or shot hole. I don't think it is pest, but could be. The leaves are showing holes with a border and some of the new leaves are wavy / curled and full of holes. It has been a normal spring here with just above normal rainfall. Any ideas on identification and how to resolve? I have seen a few holes in another peach and a sweet cherry as well. But this is the worst. Thanks!!! |

| It looks like bacterial spot or coryneum blight (both are shot-hole diseases). Spray copper in late fall and early spring. Scott |

| Thanks for the information. Purchased this tree from a local store this year and didn't spray it this year. My other trees are looking pretty good. Is there anything I can do for it during the growing season to help it out? Thanks!! |

| It doesn't hurt to pull off infected leaves, that will limit the spread. Scott |
