Little red spots all over peach leaves

[lanecrew]

I planted two year old peach trees this spring and got a few blossoms, no peaches. And now there are little red spots all over the leaves. Am I not watering enough? Too much? Is this a disease? How can I save my eight peach trees?

Thanks in advance

Make sure they are not planted too deep. How often do you water?

Thanks for responding, Sandi - I don't think they are planted too deep. We are well read on that, thanks to Howard. I water about once a week depending on rainfall. I also sprayed with Garrett Juice on the leaves. No other bugs or bores present. Trunks look okay. What do you think it is?

Is there a way you can post an image od the leaf spots? There's certain signs of fungal diseases that are easy to ID by the way the look on the leaves. Does the spot grow until it covered the entire leaf? Has a neighbor recently sprayed something that could have drifted over?

I would also make sure that you feel down in the soil several inches before you water again. Make sure it's pretty dry before you water. Don't assume that it needs it just because it's been a week since the last watering.
