I have a miniature tree this year which has had lots of blossom and now in full leaf. In the last couple of weeks some of the leaves have shown signs of curly leaf fungus. What can i do? Thank you, Tony
Not a lot at the moment other than remove the affected leaves. You can spray with Bordeaux mixture just before leaf fall, again in mid January and February.
I have just identified that our old almond tree has developed peach leaf curl following a vigorous pruning back last November. Everything I have read has been about treating the problem in January/February.
What can I do, now that it is June to limit the problem. There is still a lot of new growth coming through. It is only a single tree and we don't "harvest" the fruit so loosing a crop is not a problem. But I would like to limit any damage so that the tree can recover fully.
Hi I have a nectarine which I grow in a large plastic pot in an unheated greenhouse. I have had it for about 4 years which has never yet fruited. I don't put it outside and it grows beautiful healthy leaves but thats as far as it gets. I have tried pruning off everything but 3 main stems and feed with Tomorite. I used to grow it outside but it suffered from peach leaf curl. Problem solved by growing it inside greenhouse but would like to know how to get the fruit to develop please?

Any advise greatly appreciated.
Ok
So do I remove the affected leaves/sprouting growth?
Can Bordeaux mixture be used at this time of year?????????
I am only a novice gardener..(my lupins are rocking!)...but dont want to kill the tree off by over pruning it during its growing/fruiting season.
Many thanks
Please help. Many thanks.
