How to Treat Leaf Curl in Peach and Nectarine Trees

In this video I’ll show you what I do every fall, winter, and sometimes spring to prevent leaf curl in my peach and nectarine trees using this natural fungicide. If your trees are already showing signs of leaf curl its too late to use this fungicide but there is still plenty you can do to keep your tree healthy.

[@savagesuavecit5616]

appreciate you touching on if its too late in the season as that's what prompts many to come find your video in the 1st place!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you for sharing your appreciation for that! I assumed many would be in that position, so I’m happy to offer the advice I have. And the good news is that the tree will be fine, just mark your calendar now for treatment next dormant season

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

I get bladder plum. I just pull them off and dispose in the rubbish making sure I wash my hands. I pull the leaf curl leaves off immediately too. A lady in New Zealand sprays all the trees in her orchard with 1 cup apple cider vinegar to 10 litres of water.... sprays the trees every 2 weeks. A lot of work but her trees are so healthy.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you for sharing

[@MaximusPham]

went to mom's and saw her peach tree had leaf curl on the entire tree; told her your tips to try to keep it health and I'll spray it come winter, thanks!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Awesome, thanks!

[@nikicollins5809]

I just noticed this on my peach tree. It’s never done this before and I’ve lived here 4 years. I’m so worried so glad I found this. (It’s too late as bloom as taken place but I’ll do the fall treatment.)

[@urbanfarmstead]

I like to set a calendar reminder so I remember to spray in November and January

[@notsohandytim5090]

Don't know if you realize that the seeds germinate easily (the first year I think) if you just bury them in your garden about 2 inches deep. I have acquired so many this way that I have to either give them away or discard them.

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

This was super helpful! We have just bought our new place and there is heaps of leaf curl on the various peach trees. I think the older lady couldnt look after them any more. Now I know what to do when we get back towards Autumn! (It's spring where we are now, so too late for this year)

It's getting fairly bad now... it still has leaves, but I'd say 70-80% of them are diseased and most at the top of the plant are dead. Is there anything I could/should do to help it survive until the fall when I can spray it?

I see this is a dormancy treatment, but what do I do NOW that the flowers have bloomed and I have tiny peaches all over the tree? I just bought a nectarine tree to add to my "orchard" and I don't want these curled, blistered leaves to infect the other trees! Do I cut the infected leaves off?

[@urbanfarmstead]

I discussed in this video what to do if you have leaf curl in the growing season

[@battalion151R]

Watching you get geared up for spraying, i saw you put on your old leather gloves. That's a problem. If you use those gloves for different sprays, they get wet then dry, reconcentrating the chemicals. Over time those get stronger and stronger, exposing you to more absorption problems. I had a coworker that used to do a lot of landscaping as a side job. He wore a set of leather boots that absorbed lots of lawn chemicals. His feet sweat and he absorbed too much through his feet. It did something to paralyzed his cardiac sphincter.

[@ardenthebibliophile]

Yo just an FYI the N95 is doing very little compared to a different mask and it's how you're wearing it. It needs a complete seal, and with your glasses under the lip you've broken it. You may find that the half-face respirators at home depot with the bayonet cartridges are a little easier to wear, plus they can be extended to other chemicals if you buy the right cartridge.

What should i do about an apricot that should have been managed for size at least five years ago? Its out of control.

That’s a very common question I get, and you could definitely attempt to prune it down to a more manageable size. Of course you can’t get specific pruning advice from your particular tree, but just make your cuts above/beyond the branches you want to keep.

My trees are roughly 3 years old at around 5ft high. This year they developed leaf curl so i will be treating come end autumn and again early spring. Will they eventually bounce back and grow more? They haven't been stunted too much already?

[@urbanfarmstead]

I don't think that it's necessarily passed on through genetics but genetics do play a role in how susceptible a certain variety is. The best way to prevent it would be to plant a variety with a known resistance. That trade is bread into some, but it will of course reduce your options if you're in search of a specific variety.

Grateful Princess of God the tree can be sprayed any time during its dormant season. So after the leaves fall but before it flowers. No need to see a close up of the buds, but sorry I wasn’t able to show them for you.

[@Dandelion_flight]

@@urbanfarmstead Thanks for the reply. Some say when the buds are swelling. I am not sure what that means. Often the tree has buds in various stages, some still closed, some may have a little pink showing, and some have even bloomed. LOL. Dormant after leaves fall means that winter is the best time. But in winter we have to prune the tree before new buds grow right? So should we not wait for the new buds to come in before spraying? Isn't the fungicide aiming at the new buds? Or am I wrong? Thank you.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Grateful Princess of God it’s recommend to spray at least twice during dormancy. Right after the leaves fall and again in early spring but it doesn’t need to be at bud swell. The fungicide kills spores. The fall spray will kill existing spores, the spring spray will kill remaining of new spores that may have a iced via wind, so closest to bloom time is best.

[@Dandelion_flight]

@@urbanfarmstead Thanks. Actually it's the beginning of the last month of winter for us here and I can already see buds, like I described, some closed, some showing a little red, two are already opened. It is not even spring. Should I spray then? Where do spores hide?

Grateful Princess of God. I always advise following the instructions on the label of the product you use, but I’m pretty sure this product I use says it’s ok to spray as long as it’s not in full bloom.

I sprayed my peach tree after the lead curl, are the fruits still edible? Thanks

[@urbanfarmstead]

Leaf curl can affect the heeled and quality of the fruit but not the edibility. Are you asking if the product you sprayed on the tree will affect the edibility? If so, the only way to know is to read and follow the information on the label of the product you used.

Urban Farmstead thanks for replying. I sprayed liquid copper fungicide by Bonide.

@@johnpeterpascual3058 ok cool, I won't speculate or make any assumptions on safety guidelines for any products, so be sure to read the label and follow those directions.

[@johnpeterpascual3058]

Urban Farmstead no problem thank you so much 😊

[@urbanfarmstead]

John Peter Pascual you’re welcome! Happy gardening!

Natural huh?

[@urbanfarmstead]

Yep 👍🏻. It’s approved for use in organic gardening, however the active ingredient is copper which is of course natural, but can’t be considered “organic”.

Good video. Pity about the loud and irritating music.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks for the feedback. I agree - this was one of my first videos, so I was sill learning a lot about video production, and I still have much that can be improved on

The guy protect itself before spraying dangerous stuff on a tree he will eat it fruits.... Lol... Dumb.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Lol, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s a copper spray, so it’s not necessarily dangerous, and doesn’t get into the fruit, but yeah I obviously don’t want it in my lungs
