Ernest, Thanks for the advice. I have read from U.N.C. that the store bought Bordeaux is better in the spring since it doesn't burn the trees, but has minimal copper. I'll probably just buy a mixture for now but will mix my own for the winter. One of my peach trees is severly damaged even though I sprayed last winter with liquid flowable copper and and in early spring with a Lime/Sulfur mixture. I've read a Bordeaux will be the way to go to get rid of the Peach Leaf Curl.
Bob

You can easily buy copper sulfate on the internet but it might be
expensive.  I have seen five pound bags of copper sulfate in large
nurseries and farm stores.  Might be easier and better to buy
Bordeaux mixture.
