I also have a Bonanza pygmy peach which is ridden with leaf curl.  I should have built a "peach porch" over winter for it, but was lazy and am paying the price.  Such a shame as it was covered in blossom three weeks ago.  I am going to feed with seaweed feed and hope for the best.  I will have to look out for these larger leaves.

I'm having the same problem with my nectarine VegGirl.  I bought it from DTBrown last year but when I saw that it had leaf curl I contacted them and they refunded me the cost.  Thought I'd give it a chance but it's still really bad.  Like yours it's putting out new growth of larger, rounder leaves, except that mine is about 2 feet above the graft.  Not sure if I should persevere with it as although I did lose about half of the top growth, the other half is still alive... :(


Sorry to hear you're having the same issue, Auntiemogs - although a little pleased that it's not just me :ohmy: :D
I didn't think of contacting DT about the leaf curl, just put it down to the awful weather - probably too late now though!

I'm going to give it a chance, I figure it's not going to take much of my time or effort and you never know... and I just can't bring myself to bin something that is still alive  ::)


Thanks all for the responses, I've given it a good feed and we'll see what happens

My peach trees get leaf curl since I first bought them 11 years ago and they're still thriving. It's the feeding afterward that people don't think about and which is crucial to the tree's health. Don't bin the plants, just feed them and watch for any problems, and they'll keep producing. I've even had trees rebloom for me.
