Peach Tree Leaf Curl?

Question

Okay I live in Indiana and I have a 2 year old peach tree that looks SOOO HEALTHY!! Anyway, I just realized that I have peach tree leaf curl from all the rain in april and may!! I have looked at many different websites about treating it and some say treat it now and others say wait until september and some say wait until january and february. I am concerned that my tree will die. Have you had this problem and what is the outcome with the health of the tree and the fruit???

Answer 1

Don't worry, the tree won't die.  There isn't much you can do right now.  The tree will replace all of the leaves after the curled ones drop.  To avoid the same problem next year, you can spray in the spring before the buds swell.  Also, get rid of the leaves after they fall, burn them.
