I have a peach tree contained by the back patio. It is about A little below six feet. The top subdivision had died bad and what used to be considered 'suckeres' Became the plants branches. Recently something that looks like white fungus started growing on some stems, leaves and at the exposed roots. I dont want to cover the roots until I know if the fungus is not contagious.I want to really get hold of rid of it.. I also Know that it is not powdery Mildew. I also want to know if its just a run of the mill symptom or if its helping the plant strive in Florida. Also Tips on diligence would be nice.
