Woody starts with ... Q1 Is it too late to spray peaches/nectarines with Bordeaux mix once a lot of flowers are already out? Q2 My Celon G'berry produces lots of lovely flowers but does not set fruit, any suggestions? I have also just noticed some leaves that look as if they could have a rust, is it susceptible and any cures?

Nick says... My dwarf nectarine gets even more dwarfed by it each year so this time I've taken the time to do more sprays. My first copper oxychloride spray was about June 4th and I coincidentally had another one today, and there'll be one last one during bud burst. I've also been reading up on all that companion planting stuff and apparently it helps planting a few garlics below the tree (I've got about 8 around mine, if it works theyre going in around other trees too!) | About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 23rd July 2011 9:29pm #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi Julie, It doesn't say it will on the back of the mancozeb plus pack, but it is a good fungicide. I spray the open flowers on my dwarf peach and tropical nectarine, and have no leaf curl :-) Don't forget to add a bit of a good wetter as well. Might pay to wait til the small fruit forms, then spray with copper oxychloride plus mancozeb plus.
