Q&A – Are there disease resistant stone fruits?

Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says there are no stone fruits that are resistant to brown rot. Even if you spray religiously there are still times when the fruit is unprotected. Every time it rains the fungicide is washed off and you need to reapply. If it rains everyday for a week the fruit is unprotected for a week. In the south east United States he recommends not growing peaches, plums, and nectarines in the home garden. Buy them from the store.
