Peach leaf curl likely

Red, thickened and distorted leaves are very typical of peach leaf curl.

How to recognise

• Check whether young leaves are blistered, then turn pale before falling.

What to do

• Remove only the worst-affected leaves without stripping the whole tree.
• Support the tree with regular watering in dry weather.

Prevent

• Prevention must be planned before the buds open, in line with local regulations.
