Lumpy Peaches, A Stinky Problem
Q: My peaches came in very lumpy. Do you have any idea what this is and how to treat it?
A: The most likely reason for lumpy peaches is stink bug damage. The stink bug inserts its tubular proboscis into a peach and sucks out delicious juice. It visits other peaches but does not wash between meals. As a result, the peach skin heals, but the fungus the stink bug inserted with its dirty nose causes the lumpiness. I have a great link for stink bug identification and control at bit.ly/GAstinkfruit.
