I don't have a peach tree now, I gave up on it. However, my belief is

peach leaf curl.


That's interesting. The books I have read said that nectarines would
not grow outdoors; only under glass, which is why I bought a peach
instead. Perhaps the only successful way to grow either is under
glass; that would keep the rain off them after all. I assumed the book
recommended under glass for heat, not wet though.

How do you grow a fruit tree under glass? You must need a tall green
house, not the standard 8' one, or do you grow them as a fan and prune
when they near the roof?
