My uncle worked at LSU's Idelwild experiment station where they worked with peach trees. They produced lovely peaches, but that was a long time ago so they probably were covered in deadly poison. Peaches can be challenging. After two tries and lots of work I pulled them out and put in blackberries. The suggestion to call LSU is a good one. Bananas are good. They are also invasive, kind of like bamboo, but they produce fruit.Found more evidence at the base of the regular ElbertaThe lumpy area right against the trunk.....its that amber ooze with dirt stuck to it.
It easily lifted away. Looks like its mixed with sawdust.
There is more of this on the other side of the trunk.
I like to garden in a way that is low maintenance. So finding this (while not shocking) makes me seriously rethink having these trees. I like peaches and all. But if these bugs don't cooperate I will find something else that we like, that has less or less time consuming pests. I hear bananas have a minimum of pests.......??????? I have a couple of gorgeous ones that I traded Angel for and they are doing just dandy. Sooo........depending on what happens they may get to trade with a peach.
. I think they're white rocks. They better lay somethin
