Hi Toni,

 

Probably bacterial spot.  Some of my varieties have it too.  It is generally just cosmetic, although it probably weakens the tree some.  If it's bad enough, it can crack the peaches.  Generally, its recommended to plant resistant varieties if possible, if it's a problem.  Antibiotic sprays are said to be slightly effective.

Well, my 27 baby peaches have black speckles on most of them. It looks like fly poop. What is it? What do I do? A lot of the leaves have small holes in them.
