Garden Pests and Diseases: Nectarine tree is sick! , 2 by caitlinmm

My nectarine tree is about 7 years old. This year we sprayed it with fruit tree spray prior to budding, when the flowers dropped and then 2 weeks after that. It was doing great and had tons of little nectarines growing on it, then all of a sudden they just all fell off. Now the leaves are falling too. There is some kind of fungus growing on the trunk. I have attached a picture of this as well as the leaves. They are yellowing and have some little black spots on them. I'm thinking this is some kind of fungal infection, but all I see when I research online is leaf curl, and this doesn't seem like that. Any advice for treatment is appreciated!
