Best grown against a south-facing wall or against a greenhouse.

Control of peach leaf curl is essential. Peach leaf curl is a fungal disease, which, if left untreated, puts trees under severe stress due to the excessive leaf loss. The white bloom consists of large numbers of fungal spores, but these do not infect the new leaves produced later in the year. Instead, they overwinter on the tree to infect the following year’s leaves.

Applications of fungicide must be timed carefully. A copper fungicide (Vitax Bordeaux Mixture should be applied as the buds begin to swell and then repeated 14 days later. Bud swelling normally occurs in late January or early February but may be delayed in colder districts. Spraying must be completed before flower buds open. Another application at leaf fall may also be beneficial.
