It may be curly leaf which affects all the peach nectarine family. Just off hand not sure what you use to spray for it or when you spray. Check at the garden place or a NZ garden internet site.
Why do we notice the spelling mistake as we hit the post button. I think there is a vast difference between peach and preach. I know only one letter but ???

Gee Jean, a Preacherine might be quite a handy thingy to have growing in the backyard to call upon whenever needed!!!!

Getting old - I forgot to write what I was really going to say! Our peach trees get curly leaf most years and I don't do anything - I think I can remember one of the on-air gardening hosts say one day don't worry about it, but it does make the tree look less attractive, but they fruit just the same.

Thanks folks, for your tips, and yes they do look less attractive, but as long as the end result is the same,thats the main thing. I only tasted them earlier this year, and we just had to get our own. And it is quite easy to hit the post button, and realize youve gone to quick, but everyone knows what we are on .I Wish you all a Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year.( Dawn have made that Brittle about 4 times already, and its awesome.)

Hi Cass,
Listened to Rud on newstalk zb on saturday, and he said to spray on leaf drop, (NZ around april) as this is when new buds are forming. So I have made a note on my 2010 calendar to spray, and hopefully make sure this time I might be able to control it.
I would have to say that they would have to be my all time favourite fruit.
.
My tree is covered in curly leaf, but has a lot of fruit, so, pleased to hear your comments Virgil.
regards

They sound nice Stephanie. Do they have a smooth skin as in nectarine or furry skin as in peach? (Hopefully non furry as eating raw peach skins give me the same feeling as a person scraping their fingernail down a blackboard!) Are the hairs standing up on your arm yet - mine just about are from the thought! That's one of the nice things about nectarines, I can eat skin and all.
Regards,
Dawn.

While I was in a fruitshop today I had a quick look for peachines but thought I'm too early (in the season) - but I came across Plumcots: Apricots X'sd with plums. They were pretty nice, especially the softer, riper ones. Skins were more sort of apricot-ish than plum-ish.

Have been absent for a few days,so have just caught up. My son was helping a farmer, and he gave him a couple of boxes. My reaction was we will never eat all those, Oh did I eat my words, they just vanished, they are so nice. I liked them better than the oridanary peach and they are so big.Thank you Carol no2 I will write that in my dairy for next year to. We had some tiny little ones appear, but do you snip the first years ones off Our trees are planted by the drive out and Ive worked out why that is, so a long arm, can pick them when driving out. HaHa. Thank you all for your help ,as being such a new fruit tree wasnt to sure about how to treat them. Merry Xmas and Happy a New Year to you all Cass.

Hello (again) Cass,
To add to Carol's comments, I've just read in the Weekend Gardener Magazine about leaf curl and it says copper spray is the best spray to use but needs several applications because the fungal spores survive winter in buds on the trees. First spray in winter when trees are dormant, spray again early spring just before buds burst open, then again 10 to 14 days later and again another couple of times if the weather continues to be cool and wet. The disease is worse in cool wet springs.
Regards,
Dawn.
