One of the reasons PLC can be stubborn is that it over-winters on the bark
and rain carries it to the buds.  That's why the spray remedies emphasize
good coverage.  BTW, I believe copper compounds suppress PLC somewhat.

Subject:  Re: [NAFEX] Peach Tree Problem


I deal with peach leaf curl (on peaches and nectarines) by removing (by
hand) and destroying  all the affected leaves on the tree and underneath.
I"d recommend doing this if it is too late to spray now. It is slow work
but
very effective. I believe the fungus is spread when the infected leaves rot
in the soil underneath the tree. My trees have come back beautifully (until
next time, as it easily reoccurs). You will notice that some of your leaves
are okay. Keep them on. Leaf curl if treated this way won't kill the tree
even if it is nearly leafless for awhile.
