How to prevent peach leaf curl.

A video showing how I am preventing an outbreak of the horrible disease Peach Leaf Curl. Peach Variety Dixyred.

Leaf Curl: Put a couple of drops of Oregano oil in a spayer and spray the leaves and the ground. Works very fast and is extremely effective. Oregano oil has very good anti-fungal properties.

I use neem oil for leaf curl and I spray early spring time here in northern California and it works for me, you also can use copper fungicide, they are both environmental friendly

what is the advantage of useing a pot for your peach tree its bound to die as the pot fills with roots the poy takes up more room that the tree would this notice of 16 deg for leaf curl we never have that low ZONE 7 south carolina maby 28 for a low yet my bigest peach tree about 10 ft tall was covered with this mess every leaf fell about 3yrs ago in july aug that fall late dec iton jan i sprayed with copper dilluted 2 big spoons per gal water sprayed about 3 time at 2 week intervals no more leaf curl last 2 yrs it wrks soak the ground also around the tree

Nice one Dan, thanks for the tips mate

you only get i chance early spring to kill this fungus so do it right the first time buy some copper consentrate THE BEST mix with water 2 big spoons per gal water -- you have to do this while the leaves are gone its in the bark soak it real good wait 2 weeks do it again if you do this right you will have nice green leaves

also, doesn't it get humid inside a poly tunnel? I am sure that high humidity would also be bad for fungus.

it is so easy to kill leaf curl by useing copper spray you have to kill at is source (the bark of the tree just spraying the leaves in the summer time may slow it down but will not kill it spray whe leaves are gone dec jan soak the tree and soil around it this will kill it once and for all

[JeffBourke]

but growing in a poly tunnel risks not exposing your tree to get enough "winter chill" to be able to bear fruit.

Hi, I'm in Essex too and a coupl3 of years ago I transfered my big tree into the garden because my chickens died and I wanted to make the most of the ground their run had been on. Unfortunately it's suffered from curl every year since I've had it. Last year is the first time I've aactuall6 had a peach survive, it was gorgeous!

I also have a patio peach and nectarine in pots which also have curl! ath3 big tree is smothered in hundreds of tiny peaches and it's so disappointing when they all drop off for lack of leaves. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with it 5his late in the season without losing all of the peaches?
.Th3 main tree is a red haven. I really don't want to have to get rid of them all and start again. I sprayed them a few days ago with copper feed and also an organic liquid that I found on amazon which is made from worm poo, and smells like it! which turned out to contain a fungus eating nematode. I use coffee grounds and try to water every day and regularly use fish blood and bones there aren't any weeds around the tree just a few bulbs. I'm desperate to get a half decent crop but if it gets any worse they'll all just drop again, except the one that grows on the end of a branch that has found its way into my she'd so doesn't get wet!

Thank you for any helpful advice you can give :)

[JeffBourke]

also, are you going to prune that tree???

[JeffBourke]

I doubt that 1 year of leaf curl untreated would kill a tree.
