peaches and plums suggestions

7 years ago
I have two peaches and a plum. They all have canker, OFM and borers. I will say these were my first fruit trees ever and the pears and apples planted at the same time are doing marvelous!
I also have bees and try to go with organic methods but will concede if possible. This year we have had record 300% rainfall will could be apart of the issue?

So two questions: zone 7b

Are there any peach and plum varieties you swear by that are more resistant to canker? I’ve researched and researched but no clear winners.

And what is your regiment of spraying? And with what? I’ve started spraying copper and bt. But I’m a bit confused on how much I can use copper and when. And with major rain fall bt is a challenge. Thinking about added bonite fruit tree spray but hate to do that with the bees.
