    Thanks Busy-Lizzie and fidgetbones. I will start taking leaves off this mornng and give it a spray. Hopefully I can save it as it is early in year, pity it started off the spring so well with plenty of new growth and leaves i was hoping for a good crop

    My young nectarine tree is showing red blisters the leaves of almost every branch. I believe this is 'peach leaf curl' disease but I need to know how to deal with it please.
