In this video, I show how to protect peach trees from bugs. One of the main bugs is the Plum Curculio. This bug is why many young peaches fall off the plant because the bug has attacked it. I could not understand why the peaches fell until I learned about the plum curculio. This bug lays a larva in fruit then it goes to another fruit and repeats the same thing. This will cause the fruit to fall or be attacked from within. The fruit will be no good for you. If you do not want to spray chemicals on the fruit or tree try these methods. The fruit tree spray that I used is organic and is called Surround Kaolin Clay. This product covers the fruit and leaves which stops the pest from damaging the fruit. The Plum Curculio does not like the taste of clay so they go somewhere else. The next organic method to stop these fruit pests is to use protection bags. These bags will prevent the fruit tree pests from destroying the fruit. These two methods work great together. When using the Kaolin Clay you must reapply after it rains or the bugs will get your fruit.
