is this peach tree doomed?

9 years ago

Hello all

It's the second year in the ground for my very vigorous high producing Peachtree. Had a lot of pests on it last year, but it just seemed to outgrow everything. I put bags on the peaches, and everything worked out great in the end, totally organic hands off tree.

This year it's even worse, and the huge aphid or whatever it is infestation on the north part Is over the entire tree now. Early in the season the entire tree was shinny and sticky. Almost every leaf underside is literally jammed with aphids or something. What's concerned me more this year is all the new growth is looking sickly and showing some new weird red spots I didn't see before.

Is it possible to let this ride it out? Or am I looking at losing the crop if I do nothing?

As with last year, there's also borers and OFM etc. I made a short video giving a good overview of the tree and a lot more background information if anyone is interested.
