Last year my reliance peach tree after giving bountiful fruits for several(at least3years)years, did bloom and though flowers became fruits but they did not grow in size and most of them withered away What can be done to treat it. Local garden centre suggested that it is because of the lawn fertilizer. I also have brown rot and leaf curl problem and I sprayed the tree with dormant oil and sulphur twice this year.

Certified ExpertA.If your tree is in the lawn, it could be getting too much nitrogen if you fertilize the lawn. Use a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 for peach trees. These articles should help:

10310Q.Can You Help My Poor Peach Tree?
My poor peach tree. We cut it back during the winter months. In spring it started to blossom so beautifully. So many flowers. We started to see peaches. Then all of a sudden, nothing. Peaches started to fall, sap started to form on the bark. I know it had a fungal infection and did spray it with an anti fungus spray with copper. I’ve attached a pic of the tree and bark, and 1 peach. Thanks for any help

Certified ExpertA.This looks much like Phytophthora root rot. Unfortunately, you can only slow the disease down until the death of the tree. Fungicides and proper clean up of infected and dead debris will be the best thing to do from here. Fungicides, with continual use, can help, as well.

Certified ExpertA.The picture is just a little bit out of focus, so I can't it perfectly. It does look like yellow scale insects, though. Azadirachtin is the main chemical component of neem oil. This extract is best for scale. I wouldn't treat consistently. These are difficult to get rid of.
The scale pictured in the article is one of many different species, however it will still have the same treatment.

Aurora, CO 80014Q.What Is The Best Fungacide Or Spectracide To Spray Of Inject For Peach Tree Borers
A friend who runs a small nursery with some peach trees suggested a product that is injected with a 9-inch needle to try to save my tree. He can't remember the product name. My tree is about 7 years old and had more peaches sprout this year than any other. However, they didn't get any bigger than golf balls and never softened. I didn't know I was supposed to remove many so that there was room between. However, the squirrels did that for me. What they left on the tree, in only the last few days, have minimally gotten bigger and softer. I'm hoping that means the tree can be saved. Can you tell me if my friend is correct. Some kind of product that I can inject and how to do it? Thank you.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I can't really say if they are the problem or not, but there are some accepted treatments. Usually, you will look for endosufan, chorpyrifos, or lindane. Here is an article that will help you.

Certified ExpertA.The tree may have peach tree borers. They are hard to treat because they are inside the wood. Spray the pear trees if you have not. Here is more:
