Blistered? Fungal infection? Take some leaves to your local nurseryman and ask.

I have fond memories of climbing the mango tree in my grandmother's back yard (this in Minas Gerais, Brasil) with my friend, Marcos, and eating mangos until we were drenched in sweet juice and practically sick of the flavor! I never remember insect infestations or fruit dropping like I experience here in BC! My cherry tree is losing its fruit again . . . I've done compost, dormant spray, crusher dust and insecticidal soap to limit pest infestation. I've watered this tree and carefully eliminated any competing plants from beneath its drip line. I've done the same for my plum trees, but most of their leaves are withered now and they look terribly sad. My pair of peach trees have blistered leaves, too! Sigh . . . The rest of my garden is looking really good thus far. But why can't I grow decent fruit trees? robert luis rabello "The Edge of Justice" "The Long Journey" New Adventure for Your Mind http://www.newadventure.ca Ranger Supercharger Project Page http://www.members.shaw.ca/rabello/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/ --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat?
