Peach leaf curl

Symptoms

Leaves pucker and take on a slight reddish tinge. A powdery white film later develops over the affected leaves. This generally happens as soon as the new foliage unfurls in the spring.

Cause

A fungus. The spores are carried by wind and rain landing and lodging in cracks and crevices of the tree and overwintering there, ready to leap into action the following spring.

Harm

Generally the health of the plant is not effected unless the infection continues year after year. Less fruit might be produced. The skins of nectarines may also be come rough as the fungus spreads to the fruit. Peaches are not similarly affected.
