So I was hoping this would disappear on its own, but my peach tree is visibly sick and has been producing less peaches the last two seasons. Can someone help me and advise me on what to do about this? I live in central Florida if that helps.

You likely need to spray it with a fungicide, Home Depot should have copper fungicide by captain jack

I’d also recommend spraying it every winter to prevent it from happening again

Can I spray it with fungicide if it’s already bearing fruit?

#### Ava replied on 2025-12-10

You are supposed to spray during fall after the leaves drop and in winter before buds (not when flowering-it’s not good for the bees), but you can spray if there are fruit if you need to, just make sure to read the instructions on whichever fungicide you get since it’ll say how long after spraying you have to wait before eating the fruit or if you can spray on the fruit.
