Peach leaf curl already!!!!!

[Nicos]

Just a quick warning for those with peach trees- my tree is just starting to drop it's petals and I was checking to see how many buds are showing signs of producing fruit.

Imagine my shock at finding the early signs of peach leaf curl...the leaves are only about 1cm long too!!!!!)
Bordeaux Mixture spray this afternoon me thinks.
( yup- I do try to be as organic as poss- but there are a couple of exceptions for me)

I'm the same. I sprayed mine with Cloque du pêcher (which is probably a way of selling Bordeau mixture for a lot more money) in February before the leaf buds started. So far, so good but every year I end up taking off loads of affected leaves. 'tis a real bummer isn't it!
