Pest Alert: Did you have curly leaf on your peaches and nectarines in spring? This fungal disease causes the leaves to pucker, thicken and bubble. They then get coated with a white bloom of fungal spores before dropping (which weakens the tree). Young fruit can fall too. The tree might have recovered as the summer progressed but the disease will be sure to return this spring. Spray now, once the leaves have finished falling, and again in late winter or early spring as the new buds begin to swell, with Yates Liquid Copper. This clever modern formulation provides a thorough covering that helps kill the disease-spreading spores. yates.au/products/disease-control/concentrates/yates-liquid-copper-fungicide/
