Peach Trees Going Downhill Quick

[FruitFreak]

My peach trees all seem to be exhibiting symptoms of bacterial spot or rust.  I had no idea just how vicious this bacteria was.  My Tropic Beauty and Prince are most affected.  Leaves are dropping prematurely every day and I feel helpless.  It's so early in the summer I fear the little trees wont have any leaves by fall.  Can anyone recommend a treatment, I'm at loss with this one.  Thanks.

Hey Rob.  Do you think its a coincidence that I sprayed them with copper for the first time last week?!! Could this be spray injury or both?

I dont think it is the cause of your problems.  Even though copper is considered ok to spray on peaches, I have seen applications of copper cause damge to peach vegetation, even going so far as to defoliate the peach.  This is why I am recommending Daconil.
