[Apple-Crop] SWD attack on intact peaches

[Win Cowgill]

Glen- From work that Dean Polk Rutgers and I did in NJ we know that SWD can 
infest intact peach fruit
His response has more detail. But the answer is yes SWD can be an issue if the 
populations are high enough with alternative sources like Black Cherry, wild 
grapes, grapes, blueberries and many more.
