In order to repel ants from a fruit producing tree, your best solution is to catch them on there way up the trunk. A great way to do this is to stick a piece of paper to the trunk with a sticky substance on it, such as petroleum jelly. They also sell products specifically for trapping ants. This will not allow the ants to make it to the branches where the fruit is being produced.
I have read that the ants are "harvesting" aphids in the tree. I read to spray tree with soapy water to remove ants and aphids. Then wrap Duct Tape backwards (sticky side out) toghly at tree base to stops ants. I am in the process of doing this now. Good luck as some of my first peaches have little holes in them with sap coming out.

What is the symbiosis relationship between ants and the acacia tree?
They have a mutual relationship. At the base of the thorns of the acacia tree there are hollow lumps which the ants can turn into a hive. When animals, such as giraffes, start to eat the soft acacia leaves it vibrates the stems and the ants come out and attack the intruder annoying the giraffe so much that it stops eating at the acacia and moves on to find a less irritable meal. The tree then repays the ants by giving off a sweet nectar that the ants use to feed to there larvae. The ants also patrol down and around the base of the acacia and not eat but chew and destroy any other alien saplings growing in the vicinity of the acacia (not using a single bit of the destroyed plant). It is almost as if the ants know they are helping the acacia dominate and get as much water as possible.
