Could be a little overwatered. That's an easy fix. Didn't like the drips my landscaper put on the trees. Will swap them out for gph drips, which I much prefer. I can put them on 1, 2, 3 or 4 gph nozzles. I'll check down in the ground a wee bit and see if they're too wet. And just my luck - it's going to rain - a lot - tomorrow. Will take them a bit to dry off, then :-( Thanks, so glad it doesn't look like a fungal thing. Had enough fungal infections this spring to last a lifetime. EVERYTHING had some sort of fungus in my yard, it seemed! Patty S.

Californian: planted Snow Queen this year and REALLY looking forward to it. Last few days FIRST TIME ever seeing FIG BEETLES which I really adore! Neighbor has junky huge peach tree hanging over my fence - we pick up all lousy peaches and get onto compost immediately. Today I was cutting down the overhanging branches and pulling the fruit and found no fig beetles at work nor telltale damage but peaches has to be why they're here because they ain't eating my figs. Try trapping them with sacrificial fruit as my compost pile seems to be, or putting out soda bottle funnel traps with nasty sweet water if you aren't ready for mechanical harvest by one animal or another. It's also possible the beetles are as repulsed by my baby-cooing at them as rattlesnakes appear to be and are fleeing in disgust - so you might want to try that.

I disagree about the home depot trees. I've found they stock fruit trees that do very well in the local climates with some exceptions. As an example, ours carries bing cherries which I don't get near enough chill hours to reliable harvest. The folks that live a half hour away in the mountains do though. Harvest time equals time in the ground from what I have seen. Give your tree another few years and you should see some fruit. I have a third year in the ground fruit cocktail tree. I have one peach, 12 apricots, and some plums on it now. All the first time fruiting for me. No nectarines yet.
