First off its a peach right? second its peach leaf curl right? needing confirmation on that so i know i am not making a booboo. Third thing is best way to treat it?? I was reading up and here is what i have found so far... the infected leaves should be taken off as soon as they appear to decrease the spread of the fungus for next year, then a cover of plastic sheeting from january to may to keep emerging shoots dry. Then Fungicides containing copper (Vitax Bordeaux Mixture, Fruit and Vegetable Disease Control) to be sprayed in autumn just before leaf fall and twice, two weeks apart, in late January and early February.

 

What do you all think? Is there other methods you have tried and tested?

I'm not an arborist but that's in agreement with my reading on the subject over the last few years. Personal experience though is that my neighbour never got on top of the problem with his even following that
