Brown rot can affect blossoms, twigs and ripening stone fruit including peaches, nectarines and plums.
What homeowners notice
Symptoms can include blossom blight, twig dieback and rapidly rotting fruit. Mummified fruit left on the tree or ground can contribute to future disease pressure.
Sanitation matters
Removing diseased fruit and wood is an important part of home-orchard management. Avoid leaving rotting fruit beneath trees.
