I had an Indian Blood Cling that was covered with bacterial spot every year 
and no amount of spraying would reduce it. Another variety- resisitant to 
bacterial spot- was growing next to it, and the side of the resistant variety 
nearest the Indian Blood would develop bacterial spot. Eventually I had no 
choice but to get rid of the Indian Blood if I wanted to keep the other 
varieties as well. I would like to replant an Indian Blood if anyone can 
offer an effective remedy for the bacterial spot problem.

Indian Blood Free and Indian Blood Cling are two distinct peach cultivars. 
Indian Free is peach leaf curl resistant and is a very late-ripening 
freestone that is male sterile (needs a pollenizer). So it can't produce 
offspring by itself. Indian Cling is a rubbery-textured clingstone that 
ripens earlier & is self-fertile. It is known for it's ability to reproduce 
fairly true from seed. I've planted quite a few seed of it and find 
significant variation in the offspring with regards to fruit shape and size. 
Texture, color and disease resistance/ susceptibility and tree growth habits 
are pretty similar among the offspring. I've seen peach leaf curl on this 
cultivar. Both cultivars are pretty susceptible to Xanthomonas leaf spot 
(bacterial spot), which is a more serious problem for the hot, humid 
Southeastern US. Anton North Carolina -----Original Message----- >From: Mark
