| I got bacterial spot on my nectarine this year. It started in about June. The tree is about 6' tall and is about 3 years old. The leaves are now yellow but it will soon loose them all about Nov. I want to spray it for next year to try and prevent this from happening again. I have no clue what to spray it with before it breaks in the spring. Some kind of fungicide and I guess not the kind I use on my roses. I do use volck oil for over wintering bugs under the bark. This is the only fruit tree that has an issue. I would appreciate a recommendation of a product that I can purchase a HD or Lowes that is not too pricey. |

| Use any copper spray, at bud swell but before bud break. Apply again at leaf fall. Copper sulphate and copper hydroxide are the most common copper sprays you will find. Scott |

| Any brand of copper is fine. Bonide seems to be the most common in Home Depot et al. I use Kocide, its often not available locally but you can find it on the Internet. Scott |
