powder in a small puffer is sold to shoot into the borer holes.  And
though I know this is controversial, you can't keep peach trees forever,
though there are some exceptions, the majority die as teenagers.

solution:  Plant one peach tree every year.

Red Haven peach tree, ten years old. Bark is loose and peeling off on West side, and looks loose on East side.
Have never noticed borer action, and have no idea what advanced borer damage looks like. Borers?
Sun scald? Something else horrible? Tree is a goner, but would like to know how to keep this 
from happening to future trees.
