Leaves on Stone Fruit Trees Turning Amber ?

I am curious to know why the leaves on a Nectarine and Peaharine tree are turning amber in colour - it's like they are confusing the season we are in with Autumn!

I feed and water regularly and am at a loss to understand the change in the colour of the leaves.

I am hoping a "Gardening Guru" on this forum can shed some light on this for me!

TIA :)

One cause of red plum leaves is rust, a fungal disease that results in bright yellow spots on the leaves with red spores on the undersides. It can be treated by spraying fungicide monthly leading up to harvest if the outbreak is early, or once after harvest if the outbreak comes later.

Phytophthora root rot can manifest itself in discolored, sometimes red leaves. The red leaves may start on just one branch, then spread to the rest of the tree. The red leaves are accompanied by dark root crowns, sap oozing from the trunk, and brown spots on the bark. This problem is usually caused by improper drainage or overwatering.

Bacterial leaf spot is another possible cause of red plum tree leaves. It begins as black or brown spots on the underside of the leaves that eventually disintegrate, leaving a hole surrounded by a red ring. Prune your branches back for better air circulation. Apply fixed copper in the fall and spring.

Coryneum blight can appear as small red spots on young leaves that eventually disintegrate, leaving behind a hole in the leaf. Spray with fungicide.

Leaf curl twists and curls the leaves, coloring them red along the curled edges. The leaves eventually drop. Remove and destroy all the dead leaves and any other debris to keep the disease from spreading.

Oh thanks for all your advice! The trees we have are a Nectarine and a Peacharine and they are not even 2 years old. I wonder if I may have over-watered them? I was getting them ready to trasplant (which appears to have been successful) but watering again in their newly dug holes, perhaps just a little too much (or a lot) of water! MMMmmmmmm

If you have just moved them over the last few weeks then you may well get an adverse reaction to transplanting as it is too late. However that is not to say it is not achieveable and plenty of water is important for out of season transplants.

Oh dear! So the change of colour in the leaves could be a reaction to being transplanted. we transplanted them 4 days ago and took great care to dig as deep as we could before gently raising them out of the ground and we prepared the new holes we dug extremely well. I had however noticed the leaves starting to change colour 2-3 weeks prior to being transplanted.

I do hope I have not been killing them with kindness!; too much water and nutrients?
