Re:peach tree - 2010/04/13 05:24 Hi Mike,
Sounds like fruit fly, but I am not by any means an expert on these things. I have had my 2 peach trees for 5 years now and last year got a perfect crop on the one and only branch that I saved by covering it in fly screen mesh. All the other branches were stung.
I'll be making more branch mesh this year for sure!
Alex.
