Greetings from New Jersey! I have an otherwise healthy large peach tree in my backyard that was grown from a pit 10 years ago. The peaches on there are beginning to ripen although I have no idea of the variety. It's a pretty heavy producer, depending on what mood the squirrels are in! Anyway I noticed that a few of the peaches have developed a brown mushy spot on them so I just pick them off and throw them out. Can anybody confirm if this is a bout of brown rot? I've never seen this in previous years and I always spray with the fungicide in the early spring. If it is brown rot, will it affect all the peaches? I know plenty about peach Leaf curl but not brown rot. Thanks!
Welcome to the forum,
I also grow peaches from seeds. I have terrible leaf curl every spring, which I take care of with compost tea. I haven't gotten brown rot yet in my peaches. I know brown rot is very common in peaches, but I can't confirm it in your picture. Sorry.

John,
if you spray your peach trees mid March right before budding time with Daconil Fungicide, you won't get Peach leaf curl. I never knew about leaf curl until it happened. By that time it's too late for the year. After that I always supplied a fungicide early spring and haven't had a problem since.
