| Hey guys, I'm super new at this, My father has a peach tree in his garden and over the spring a few sprouts came up and I potted one and have been caring for it since. Though a couple of days ago I noticed that the leaves have started to become discolored with some spots and I can't seem to find anything that really matches it online. I am getting pretty nervous about it, if anyone has any idea what might be going on and how I could care for it I would be grateful!
Thanks in advance! Ross |

| Try find fertilizer with all macro ments and micro ments included in mix this called a complete fertilizer. Another caution water lightly with bottle water are rain water. Tap water that tread could cause problem I'm seeing in photo. Peach is one easiest to drown. |

| Your potting mix could have a drainage problem. A soggy mix can cause foliage that looks like yours. Al |

| The sprouts at the base of the tree are root stock. Won't produce the same fruit your Dad's tree does. Toss the sprouts and by a named kind |

| Looks like spider mites. |

| I second plumhillfarm, the speckling on the leaves could easily be spider mite damage. The other observations are good as well. |

| Hey, thanks everyone! I tried two or three things at once from all of your suggestions and I don't know exactly what it was that saved it but it's decay has stopped and it's growing new fresh green leaves again! All the best! |
