Darn- we have peach leaf curl

[Nicos]

We had no signs of it last year- so didn't bother spraying our peach tree.
Darn- the leaves have suddenly started to curl and go red

Peach Leaf Curl

I have it on both my peach and nectarine Peach isnt too bad, but the nectarine is riddled with it. How do we get rid of it??

Bummer

Last year I just picked off the affected leaves and still managed to produce my GYO Grapevine award winning Scarey's peaches

This year I sprayed in February but realised too late that I should have sprayed after fruiting in the Autumn too. This year it is back again but I'm hoping it won't be as bad. I will be sure I spray it in the Autumn as well as Spring and hopefully it won't be a problem next year.

I (well actually, my peach) got it last year. sprayed immediately with the dreaded Bordeaux mixture and thanked my lucky stars that, whilst I try to be as green as possible, I am not an organic gardener. (Although apparently the powers that be have now said that Bordeaux mixture is organic). Either they have realised that there is no real organic remedy for this 'orrible fungus or they were drunk when they said it.

This year I remembered to spray in March and so far...... No sign.

Never had any luck with sprays so this year the pot was dragged into the greenhouse and hey presto beautiful green leaves with no leaf curl.
