YFS-
As far as I know only peaches and amonds get it- which is why I was asking about my plum tree!

....[..Oh I've just found out it DOES affect plums ( plum pocket) as wll as nectarines]

Peach leaf curl leaves look like this



until all the foliage is affected....

When i first got my peach tree with 1 weird leaf i thought that was what the leaves were all going to end up like, i thought it was meant to happen lol Shame cos the colours are really pretty

What causes it? My dwarf aprigold has it - well had it, I pulled off any leaves that showed sign of it - even the whole clump of leave buds near the tips of branches. It looks pretty healthy now and I've arounsd 5 apricots about the size of large marbles now !

It's a very primative fungal infection.
- apparently so because it has no powdery thingy bits!! ( is that technical enough???...my brain is flagging!)

Rain washes it onto the plants .
