What Is The Best Fungacide Or Spectracide To Spray Of Inject For Peach Tree Borers

Question

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.

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.
