Thank you for sharing your appreciation for that! I assumed many would be in that position, so I’m happy to offer the advice I have. And the good news is that the tree will be fine, just mark your calendar now for treatment next dormant season
went to mom's and saw her peach tree had leaf curl on the entire tree; told her your tips to try to keep it health and I'll spray it come winter, thanks!
I get bladder plum. I just pull them off and dispose in the rubbish making sure I wash my hands. I pull the leaf curl leaves off immediately too. A lady in New Zealand sprays all the trees in her orchard with 1 cup apple cider vinegar to 10 litres of water.... sprays the trees every 2 weeks. A lot of work but her trees are so healthy.
Last year I bought a nectarine 🍑 tree and it was already after the dormant season . This information is excellent thank you again for your help and knowledge.
Don't know if you realize that the seeds germinate easily (the first year I think) if you just bury them in your garden about 2 inches deep. I have acquired so many this way that I have to either give them away or discard them.
I just noticed this on my peach tree. It’s never done this before and I’ve lived here 4 years. I’m so worried so glad I found this. (It’s too late as bloom as taken place but I’ll do the fall treatment.)
This was super helpful! We have just bought our new place and there is heaps of leaf curl on the various peach trees. I think the older lady couldnt look after them any more. Now I know what to do when we get back towards Autumn! (It's spring where we are now, so too late for this year)
Thanks for the show and tell... I got plenty of curled leaves in the last Spring. I basically just "painted" my two trees thoroughly with a diluted solution of fluid copper bought from Home Depot. My trees are still young (about 8-9 feet) so I can do it this way. I plan to do it again early spring...
Thank you so much for this clear and to the point video. Sadly it's too late to do it now as it's May and I just noticed. Will pray a lot til Fall 🙂 And already marked my calendar with post it for Fall and Early Spring. Cheers
last year (19) about late july into aug my oldest peach 5yrs all leaves turned yellow then red and fell off 10x10 tree i waited till thanksgiving isprayed wih copper and daconil mix very diluted then pruned i disposed off the prune limbs ---- this year(20) late july all my peach tres ha dark green leaves so the spray worked this is for the new folks do most if not all spraying in winter say thanksgving to last of jan because most problems will winter over on tree if you spray leaves when they fall off you treatment is gone also dont leave any trash from tree laying all winter is ok to spray the soil around tree
Great video as always! I completely forgot that leaf curl can be such a pain to deal with. Its not too bad on my peach tree, but almost every leaf on my nectarine is currently in bad shape.
I have a young nectarine tree (about 4-5 feet tall) that was already budding when I planted it in mid-April, and shortly afterwards it started developing leaf curl. It's getting fairly bad now... it still has leaves, but I'd say 70-80% of them are diseased and most at the top of the plant are dead. Is there anything I could/should do to help it survive until the fall when I can spray it?
Thank you for this very helpful informational video. I got a young red baron tree in the yard and I want to keep it nice and healthy. If it fruits it's a bonus but I got it mainly for the striking crimson red flowers.
Your video helped a lot thank you. I’ve been spraying even after they fruited but was not helping maybe I have been doing more damage 😢. I’ll try for next year 🙏
Thank you so much for this information! I have 1 peach and nectarine tree and both of them have severe leaf curl and its had me terrified, so glad its somewhat common because in my 12 years with these trees its never happened before. I was curious, will this disease affect the new green branches that are growing as well?
Kyle I am in the Niagara Region and I have 2 peach trees that I will treat this fall for leaf curl. My question is... when should I prune these trees ? Before I spray , after or next year ? Thanks so much.
I’ll have to do this in the fall and then every year after that to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I just got our trees in the spring from a local nursery and the tree developed leaf curl :( I’ll just make sure to get a resistant type with my next purchase. I thought since it was a local nursery that their plants would be resistant to problems we get.
@@legokid1123 I didn’t end up treating mine in the fall cuz I was heavily pregnant & tired 😅 so I’m curious if it’ll get it again this yr. if it gets it again I might just get a new tree cuz it ended up spreading to the other branches on it (it was a combination tree). I’m sorry it happened to you too :(
Your video was very clear and helpful. Thank you! I am using a lime sulfur spray and my small tree is at the stage where the pink buds are visible but not yet opened. I had peach leaf curl last year. Should i still spray now or just wait until fall?
Kyle i just found this video as I was searching in a panic after finding that my peach tree is infested with leaf curl! I see this is a dormancy treatment, but what do I do NOW that the flowers have bloomed and I have tiny peaches all over the tree? I just bought a nectarine tree to add to my "orchard" and I don't want these curled, blistered leaves to infect the other trees! Do I cut the infected leaves off?
I wish it worked for me but it doesn't. I sprayed religiously, used a surfactant, but here we are again and both my trees have it once again. I'm about ready to pull them out in Norcal.
I just planted two new peach trees from the nursery that haven’t bloomed yet here in Georgia but are close. Should I spray them pre-emptively or let them establish for a year first? Thanks I’m advance.
spray with neem oil before bud break early spring stop spray after blooms open look up more info on insects this neem oil takes care of oriental fruit moth which causes goo to come out of young peaches the lay thier eggs in the buds early spring after you see the damage its too late thids year
I have Grapefruit and orange trees, orange tree seems badly miner infected, every leaves has a white line and the leaves from both trees seems very dried and curls, I water them all the time but I don’t understand why they are looking very sick, do you think they will die? Arizona had a high heat temperature for so many months and some of the leaves got burnt but I don’t know whether those dried curly leaves were due to that high heat or not. Hope you can give me some advice how to save them. Thank you!
My trees hasn't produced any fruit yet. I planted it last year. Today I noticed the curling for the first time. Lots of leaves. What should I do? Your tree was bare when you sprayed. Can I still spray with the leaves?
My trees are roughly 3 years old at around 5ft high. This year they developed leaf curl so i will be treating come end autumn and again early spring. Will they eventually bounce back and grow more? They haven't been stunted too much already?
My tree has a slimmy blotch at the base off the trunk. We removed it and put fresh dirt but the past three years. It’s getting worse. Peaches grow but the have worms. Any advice?
I have a nectarine and peach grafted tree. Both the leaves have curled. What’s the best method to make sure my tree survives the summer so that when it’s late fall I can apply the spray
So here is the question, can you spray in winter if the nectarine doesn't lose its leaves? We get cold enough here 850+ chill hours but it just refuses to drop leaves, I find most of my deciduous fruit trees hold on as long as they can. It buds and flowers just fine, this year we had leaf curl on the new leaves, luckily it still had last years normal leaves so it's find, but how should I treat it?
Had nothing last year, so of course I didn't spray, just detected that curl, so this fall!!!! Spraytime! I cut a lot of the curled stuff off and thinned the fruit, it's loaded😊
I have 4 peach trees and 2 have already bad peach curl and one is starting to be infected. They're still small trees and after learning how much pain in the ass is the disease I think there are other nice trees that could grow there as well
@@frankdavidson9675 Thank you very much Frank, actually I wrote that comment when it was summer time in Detroit. Now everything is frozen lol. I will benefit your advice when it is summer time again 2021. I really did not pay attention to have many sprayers. I got only one I use it for aphid bugs.

@@detroitergirl5842 go to lowes get spray bottle sevin 1 qt about 8$ will last long time itst already mixed just spray for many bugs on plants this is dec 30 -20 now is good time to spray fruit trees before they bloom dont spray after they bloom kills bees i use a copper and daconil spray for any type fungus it works the reason you spray in winter all leaves are gone so you can spray the bark thats where everything lives in the winter
That’s a very common question I get, and you could definitely attempt to prune it down to a more manageable size. Of course you can’t get specific pruning advice from your particular tree, but just make your cuts above/beyond the branches you want to keep.
Watching you get geared up for spraying, i saw you put on your old leather gloves. That's a problem. If you use those gloves for different sprays, they get wet then dry, reconcentrating the chemicals. Over time those get stronger and stronger, exposing you to more absorption problems. I had a coworker that used to do a lot of landscaping as a side job. He wore a set of leather boots that absorbed lots of lawn chemicals. His feet sweat and he absorbed too much through his feet. It did something to paralyzed his cardiac sphincter.
Liqui-cop is a dormant spray so you’ll want to wait until after leaf drop in fall. I got the sprayer from my local nursery but I think Johnnys Select Seeds also sells them
stop spraying as buds start to open so dont spray blooms this fungus will winter over in the bark thats why you need to spray in winter time i spray 2-3 times at 2 week intervals starting in dec spray till it drips soak the tree real good as well as the soil around tree also remove any limbs on the ground you only 1 shot at killing this fungus so do it right
Kyle do you know if this disease is a result of some tree genetics? I got two peach trees 5 feet tall for Christmas n they have it now. I will fallow your advise n spray in fall n spring, but if I get new trees do you think they will do the same?
I don't think that it's necessarily passed on through genetics but genetics do play a role in how susceptible a certain variety is. The best way to prevent it would be to plant a variety with a known resistance. That trade is bread into some, but it will of course reduce your options if you're in search of a specific variety.
buy consentraded coppper not redi mix its to weak too much water i mix 2 big spoons copper to1 gal water neem oil is an insecticide not funguscide neem oil is good for worms in peaches
It’s too late for my tree 😢 It’s absolutely covered and I don’t know what I’m doing. The baby peaches are already appearing and I’m not sure if I should just prune the whole tree. I want to cry
Too late for me. :( wondering if you can do a video on affordable greenhouses? Also, I hv a 5 year old lemon tree that won’t produce lemons? Help . I live in Northern New Jersey.
NEMO just look at it as you’re getting a very early head start on preventing it for next year. My recommendation is to look into creating a hoop house. Not as sturdy as a greenhouse but definitely more affordable. Sorry to hear about your lemon tree but there are a lot of factors to consider so I don’t really have enough information to suggest what you might need to do differently.
Hey can I spray my peach trees right now? They bloomed and I thinned all the fruit since I wanted the tree to just grow this year. The tree has leaves and it’s healthy. So can I use copper to spray right now?
I have a young tree that all the leaves are curled, what should I do? thanks. It only has few leaves on the tree, less than 10. The other thin trunks are bare.
PogoCoco did you watch the full video? I did explain near the end what to do if your tree already has leaf curl. Let me know if you still have any questions after watching that part.
Yo just an FYI the N95 is doing very little compared to a different mask and it's how you're wearing it. It needs a complete seal, and with your glasses under the lip you've broken it. You may find that the half-face respirators at home depot with the bayonet cartridges are a little easier to wear, plus they can be extended to other chemicals if you buy the right cartridge.
@@urbanfarmstead thanks I just did and sprayed it w/Seven- fruit & veg spray for insects bc I had a few big ants on it. This fall I will spray after leaves fall w the stuff you mentioned and in spring :)
Grateful Princess of God the tree can be sprayed any time during its dormant season. So after the leaves fall but before it flowers. No need to see a close up of the buds, but sorry I wasn’t able to show them for you.
@@urbanfarmstead Thanks for the reply. Some say when the buds are swelling. I am not sure what that means. Often the tree has buds in various stages, some still closed, some may have a little pink showing, and some have even bloomed. LOL. Dormant after leaves fall means that winter is the best time. But in winter we have to prune the tree before new buds grow right? So should we not wait for the new buds to come in before spraying? Isn't the fungicide aiming at the new buds? Or am I wrong? Thank you.
Grateful Princess of God it’s recommend to spray at least twice during dormancy. Right after the leaves fall and again in early spring but it doesn’t need to be at bud swell. The fungicide kills spores. The fall spray will kill existing spores, the spring spray will kill remaining of new spores that may have a iced via wind, so closest to bloom time is best.
@@urbanfarmstead Thanks. Actually it's the beginning of the last month of winter for us here and I can already see buds, like I described, some closed, some showing a little red, two are already opened. It is not even spring. Should I spray then? Where do spores hide?
Grateful Princess of God. I always advise following the instructions on the label of the product you use, but I’m pretty sure this product I use says it’s ok to spray as long as it’s not in full bloom. It sounds like yours is as the same stage that mine was when I filmed this video in late winter here. The spores are microscopic and can be anywhere on the bark of the tree.
BeastModeFitness11 In addiction to the tips the answer to your question that I think you just saw in the video, some people have asked if the fruit is still edible and the answer is definitely yes! Don’t forget to put that reminder on your calendar to dormant spray! ✌🏼
I haven't experienced this problem. Should I plan on doing this in the fall? My peach tree has already bloomed & has fruit. I have an Orange tree that I think may have this. Can it spread from tree to tree?
How old is your peach tree? Some varieties are more resistant than others. I would spray it while dormant if it gets leaf curl this summer. This leaf curl disease will not affect orange trees so it’s likely something different but it’s possible this product could help. But you’d want to be sure.
@@urbanfarmstead I have had the tree for 3yrs. It's in a large pot. It's a semi dwarf. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I need to remember how you thinned the fruit.
I spray my peach tree with raw organic apple cider vinegar, i shower that bad boy with it and it cures it, my tree is thriving, It is safe, and it is good for the environment and it doesn't kill the insects and bees living under it 😊😊😊
I assume you mean the apple cider vinegar with the mother in it. Yes? Do you also agree that we should spray acv on peach tree early spring and late fall like the video recommended? Thank you.
I looked up this video after noticing that all the leafs on my Nectarine tree have that leaf curl... now I know what to do in fall... but for now will the fruit it produces this year be edible or will it be contaminated with fungus? Sorry this was my first ever tree and honestly didn’t know about it.
Im so glad you found my video, and hope it helps! that's great question - the fruit that your tree produces will absolutely be edible, and infant it will probably look and taste completely normal unless the leaf curl is very bad.
Leaf curl can affect the heeled and quality of the fruit but not the edibility. Are you asking if the product you sprayed on the tree will affect the edibility? If so, the only way to know is to read and follow the information on the label of the product you used.
@@johnpeterpascual3058 ok cool, I won't speculate or make any assumptions on safety guidelines for any products, so be sure to read the label and follow those directions.
Brother copper is poison, you don't need that crap. I sprayed with compost extract on leaf curl after leaves set worked great. Only one time on peach tree
Yep 👍🏻. It’s approved for use in organic gardening, however the active ingredient is copper which is of course natural, but can’t be considered “organic”.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree - this was one of my first videos, so I was sill learning a lot about video production, and I still have much that can be improved on
Lol, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s a copper spray, so it’s not necessarily dangerous, and doesn’t get into the fruit, but yeah I obviously don’t want it in my lungs

First step is to accurately identify what is creating the holes, then you can work towards a solution

stop spraying as buds start to open so dont spray blooms this fungus will winter over in the bark thats why you need to spray in winter time i spray 2-3 times at 2 week intervals starting in dec spray till it drips soak the tree real good as well as the soil around tree also remove any limbs on the ground you only 1 shot at killing this fungus so do it right
Is this copper spray is safe and not toxic to human when we eat the fruits that harvested after we spray it ?
Great video
Thank you
Kyle do you know if this disease is a result of some tree genetics? I got two peach trees 5 feet tall for Christmas n they have it now. I will fallow your advise n spray in fall n spring, but if I get new trees do you think they will do the same?
I don't think that it's necessarily passed on through genetics but genetics do play a role in how susceptible a certain variety is. The best way to prevent it would be to plant a variety with a known resistance. That trade is bread into some, but it will of course reduce your options if you're in search of a specific variety.
I love the sprayer but dont see it in the link. Where can I get it? Thanks
Hey Kyle...nice video! This is your uncle Steve.....I think I'm an uncle? anyway, I hope you're doing well.
Can I spray this after a heavy pruning? Thanks
If the tree is dormant you can. But heavy pruning is better to do after summer harvest.
Thank you so much! Is NEEM OIL effective for leaf curl?
Neem oil is great for many things, but I don’t think it’s effective for leaf curl.
Thanks UF. I’ll get some Liqui Cop!!
@@highlandscommunityclub1160 you’re welcome
buy consentraded coppper not redi mix its to weak too much water i mix 2 big spoons copper to1 gal water neem oil is an insecticide not funguscide neem oil is good for worms in peaches
just wana ask, where did you get that Coat
It’s too late for my tree 😢 It’s absolutely covered and I don’t know what I’m doing. The baby peaches are already appearing and I’m not sure if I should just prune the whole tree. I want to cry
Just keep it happy this year and spray once dormant and it should recover
Too late for me. :( wondering if you can do a video on affordable greenhouses? Also, I hv a 5 year old lemon tree that won’t produce lemons? Help . I live in Northern New Jersey.
NEMO just look at it as you’re getting a very early head start on preventing it for next year. My recommendation is to look into creating a hoop house. Not as sturdy as a greenhouse but definitely more affordable. Sorry to hear about your lemon tree but there are a lot of factors to consider so I don’t really have enough information to suggest what you might need to do differently.
My peach is 2 years old,and its probably going to bear fruit this year,should i spray my tree even tho its just 2 years old?
The age of the tree does not matter much. If you are concerned about leaf curl you should spray it.
@@urbanfarmstead i ll consider doing that,thanks for replying to my comment!
Tell me about your sprayer, please.
It’s linked in the video description. What would you like to know?
Hey can I spray my peach trees right now? They bloomed and I thinned all the fruit since I wanted the tree to just grow this year. The tree has leaves and it’s healthy. So can I use copper to spray right now?
You can, but it’s probably not necessary roughy now if it has no sign of disease.
@@urbanfarmstead ok just want to make sure cause I want to be most preventive has possible! I thought copper would kill the peach leaves!
@@applayzyt7478 I would recommend following directions on the label, and only using it when necessary.
@@urbanfarmstead it’s not specific it says used for dormant and growing season. It’s from Bonide called bonide copper fungicide.
@@applayzyt7478 Ok. For my peace and nectarine only spray when dormant.
I have a young tree that all the leaves are curled, what should I do? thanks. It only has few leaves on the tree, less than 10. The other thin trunks are bare.
PogoCoco did you watch the full video? I did explain near the end what to do if your tree already has leaf curl. Let me know if you still have any questions after watching that part.
@@urbanfarmstead I did after I sent this question. Thank you!
What Can I do at this time, it is has bloomed at it is bad
Yo just an FYI the N95 is doing very little compared to a different mask and it's how you're wearing it. It needs a complete seal, and with your glasses under the lip you've broken it.
You may find that the half-face respirators at home depot with the bayonet cartridges are a little easier to wear, plus they can be extended to other chemicals if you buy the right cartridge.
Do u have videos on pruning citrus?
Not yet, but soon
I have a 2ft peach tree, planted last Yr. I just seen this today on a few leaves, maybe 5 or so. Can I just pull the leaves off with the leave curl?
Angel's World 17 yes you can. Removing and disposing of effected leaves will reduce the potential for more disease transmission.
@@urbanfarmstead thanks I just did and sprayed it w/Seven- fruit & veg spray for insects bc I had a few big ants on it. This fall I will spray after leaves fall w the stuff you mentioned and in spring :)
Angel's World 17 great! It’s an unfortunate thing that so many peach trees get this but if you manage it probably it’s not much trouble at all
@@urbanfarmstead is it ok to use miloganite on my peach tree?
Angel's World 17 what’s miloganite?
I wish you had shown us a close up of the tree eg the buds so that we can have a better idea on when to spray the tree.
Grateful Princess of God the tree can be sprayed any time during its dormant season. So after the leaves fall but before it flowers. No need to see a close up of the buds, but sorry I wasn’t able to show them for you.
@@urbanfarmstead Thanks for the reply. Some say when the buds are swelling. I am not sure what that means. Often the tree has buds in various stages, some still closed, some may have a little pink showing, and some have even bloomed. LOL.
Dormant after leaves fall means that winter is the best time. But in winter we have to prune the tree before new buds grow right? So should we not wait for the new buds to come in before spraying? Isn't the fungicide aiming at the new buds? Or am I wrong? Thank you.
Grateful Princess of God it’s recommend to spray at least twice during dormancy. Right after the leaves fall and again in early spring but it doesn’t need to be at bud swell. The fungicide kills spores. The fall spray will kill existing spores, the spring spray will kill remaining of new spores that may have a iced via wind, so closest to bloom time is best.
@@urbanfarmstead Thanks. Actually it's the beginning of the last month of winter for us here and I can already see buds, like I described, some closed, some showing a little red, two are already opened. It is not even spring. Should I spray then? Where do spores hide?
Grateful Princess of God. I always advise following the instructions on the label of the product you use, but I’m pretty sure this product I use says it’s ok to spray as long as it’s not in full bloom. It sounds like yours is as the same stage that mine was when I filmed this video in late winter here. The spores are microscopic and can be anywhere on the bark of the tree.
Is there anything I can do if my tree has it pretty bad and it’s just now starting to fruit ??
Nvm
BeastModeFitness11 In addiction to the tips the answer to your question that I think you just saw in the video, some people have asked if the fruit is still edible and the answer is definitely yes! Don’t forget to put that reminder on your calendar to dormant spray! ✌🏼
I haven't experienced this problem. Should I plan on doing this in the fall? My peach tree has already bloomed & has fruit. I have an Orange tree that I think may have this. Can it spread from tree to tree?
How old is your peach tree? Some varieties are more resistant than others. I would spray it while dormant if it gets leaf curl this summer. This leaf curl disease will not affect orange trees so it’s likely something different but it’s possible this product could help. But you’d want to be sure.
@@urbanfarmstead I have had the tree for 3yrs. It's in a large pot. It's a semi dwarf. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I need to remember how you thinned the fruit.
Trisha Navarro great, you’re welcome! I’ll probably post a fruit thinning video but otherwise you can always find that info on my Instagram.
I spray my peach tree with raw organic apple cider vinegar, i shower that bad boy with it and it cures it, my tree is thriving,
It is safe, and it is good for the environment and it doesn't kill the insects and bees living under it 😊😊😊
That’s awesome!
I assume you mean the apple cider vinegar with the mother in it. Yes? Do you also agree that we should spray acv on peach tree early spring and late fall like the video recommended? Thank you.
@@laurietremblay5692 I've used the braggs brand, and it works for me
I looked up this video after noticing that all the leafs on my Nectarine tree have that leaf curl... now I know what to do in fall... but for now will the fruit it produces this year be edible or will it be contaminated with fungus? Sorry this was my first ever tree and honestly didn’t know about it.
Im so glad you found my video, and hope it helps! that's great question - the fruit that your tree produces will absolutely be edible, and infant it will probably look and taste completely normal unless the leaf curl is very bad.
Thank you - I will flag my calendar for this Treatment!!
My peach tree almost is dead because of peach tree curl. All the blossoms and leaves are dead. Would anyone know the solution?
well done
I sprayed my peach tree after the lead curl, are the fruits still edible? Thanks
Leaf curl can affect the heeled and quality of the fruit but not the edibility. Are you asking if the product you sprayed on the tree will affect the edibility? If so, the only way to know is to read and follow the information on the label of the product you used.
Urban Farmstead thanks for replying. I sprayed liquid copper fungicide by Bonide.
@@johnpeterpascual3058 ok cool, I won't speculate or make any assumptions on safety guidelines for any products, so be sure to read the label and follow those directions.
Urban Farmstead no problem thank you so much 😊
John Peter Pascual you’re welcome! Happy gardening!
Super banget 😊
Winda Tarigan Thank you!
Brother copper is poison, you don't need that crap. I sprayed with compost extract on leaf curl after leaves set worked great. Only one time on peach tree
Thanks! I’ll look into that option
I tried many years of liquid cop,doesn’t help at all
Natural huh?
Yep 👍🏻. It’s approved for use in organic gardening, however the active ingredient is copper which is of course natural, but can’t be considered “organic”.
Good video. Pity about the loud and irritating music.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree - this was one of my first videos, so I was sill learning a lot about video production, and I still have much that can be improved on
The guy protect itself before spraying dangerous stuff on a tree he will eat it fruits.... Lol... Dumb.
Lol, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s a copper spray, so it’s not necessarily dangerous, and doesn’t get into the fruit, but yeah I obviously don’t want it in my lungs
