Thanks R.H.

Re: the curl didn't show up till the tree started fruiting.  It's interesting how stressors can bring out disease.  I had a little problem with bac. spot, but when I got the leaf curl under control, mysteriously the bac. spot went away too.

Bob,
I just realized you didn't ask for recommendations on leaf curl resistant varieties, but just for scionwood.  Sorry for extra advice.  At least it's worth what you paid for it.  When I see a topic about peaches, I get pretty excited and jump in a little too fast.

Mark
KS-where (God willing) in two short months those little pink flowers will be showin' their faces

  "R.F. Hollaus, do you know the age of the leaf-curl resistant 
  seedling?  The reason I ask is that It took some time for my 
  peach trees to start getting leaf curl.  Don't ask me how this 
  happened, but I wonder if it normally takes some age before it 
  starts showing up."

  Mark, Yes I do know something about the age now.

  I called the lady for specifics. It was a nectarine which 
  had over fruited by the 4th year or so but never had leaf 
  curl up to that point until after that. Her story is the 
  same, I remember it clearer now. The excess fruit must have 
  stressed the tree enough to start a bout with curl to which 
  then she got an education what and when to spray it with. 
  -This 2 or 3 years later the tree is under control even 
  though her health keeps her from spraying it any more. The 
  only thing that seems to concern her is not having as much 
  fruit as before and on what is happening to the honey bees 
  and their declining population.

  Because of age she can't do what she used to so now nobody 
  will be spraying which might not be a problem as the tree 
  gets more mature. It will be interesting to find out what 
  happens there come spring because another thing uaually
  happens that when a tree gets past a critical age that for
  some reason they usually improve again.
