Treat Curly Leaf on Peach Trees

If you have curly leaf problems on your peach trees, here is a solution that is environment-friendly, budget-conscious and harmless to human health.

Steps

Mix the Epsom salts in a little hot water to dissolve.
Add the cold water.
Leave this to cool completely before using.
Pour on the ground around the peach tree. Pour from the outside branch length (i.e. the drip line) to within {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} of the tree trunk.
Repeat two to three times a year.

Alternatively spray each month with Dithane945 or Bordeaux mixture. Prevent rain from splashing on the tree between late Autumn and mid-Spring. Certain varieties (eg Avalon Pride) have good resistance to peach leaf curl.
The amount produced by this recipe will serve one large tree or two smaller ones.
You want to treat the tree when it is in the dormant state (i.e. fall, early spring before buds are produced).
