    You need a fungicide for fruit trees.

    So sorry, I don't know what to suggest, but PLEASE, when you find out, search for a systemic or organic method that will prevent the use of chemically based products. Many of the honey bees (nature's natural pollinators that you will need for good crops) are being killed world wide due to chemicals being used indiscriminately. If we don't have bees, we don't have crops.

      Agreed! I'm an IL Master Gardener and my garden is all organic. I'm hoping someone has a non-toxic answer to my question as I won't use toxic chemical sprays.

    If I can find out, I will certainly let you know. You have my full support!

    Sounds like peach scab- Peach scab treatment may include the use of fungicide sprays applied to infected trees every 10 days from the time the petals fall to 40 days before harvest. Although finding a brown spot on peach fruit takes away from it beauty, it generally does not affect the quality of the fruit, as long as the infestation is not severe. Peel fruit before processing or eating it fresh.
