Dear All,
The blossoms on my peach trees (which survived a freak late
snowstorm) developed into a bumper crop of fruit. I was waiting until after
fruit drop to thin them, but last week all of the peaches got squishy and
fell off the tree. Is it possible that two months of unrelenting rain and
damp (I am thinking of building an ark) could have rotted them off, absent
any obvious additional disease symptoms? Thanks.
