Angel Peach donut tree (forum)

Sue starts with ...
Hi, we're thinking of purchasing an Angel Peace tree. Is it inevitable that we'll need to spray it with something poisonous to control pests? We're trying to avoid dangerous sprays in the garden for our children's sake. If the peach will be subject to some pest or disease - is there always a natural alternative treatment that will safely control pests/disease? thanks in advance for any advice. :)

Yes, if you live in a fruit fly area. But what you buy will probably be worse.

You will be subject to fruit fly in Sydney. Try eco lure a product that you put in a bowl near the tree or splash on a nearby fence. It is supposed to attract the fruit fly to it rather than the tree. It is a lot safer than spraying.
