Unripe Nectarines nibbled - Mark_Riga - 09-07-2020
Anyone any idea what could be causing this damage or how they would go about trying to find the culprit? The first year we had a good crop of nectarines but last year, most were damaged and rotted before ripening and the same looks likely to happen this year.
I've seen ants about in the polytunnel and on the tree also quite a few flies but no wasps. I do get some slug damage on other plants.

I don't know much about nectarines or peaches. I did have one but it got peach leaf curl after taking it in and out of the GH.
But could it be brown rot?

I think I found the culprit, earwigs. What would be the best way to deal with them do you think?
