Alabama Gardening

Dark peach leaves

9 years ago

I have one peach tree that had fruit this year and it was amazing. I noticed that the older leaves on the tree has turned dark, almost black in color. We have had plenty of rain so it wouldn't be drought. Any information on this would be appreciated. I live in southeast Alabama.

Merrimary, are the tissues of the leaves turning black or is it a black coating?

It's always extremely helpful to include a good picture or two of the problem, if you hope for an accurate ID.
