Question:
Last year, my nectarine tree had problems. I see it again this year. What is going on?
Answer:
The problem you are seeing is brown rot, which is the most disease problem for peach, plum, and nectarine trees. It is a fungal disease that can be treated with regular application of a fungicide. The fruit dropping is possibly a pollination issue. Each fruit that is not pollinated will be dropped by the tree.
