I have a copper based fungicide, and a sulfur based fungicide. Both claim
to
be the definitive cure for peach leaf curl. Does anyone know which works
better, or if both are equally effective? Last year my peaches had peach
leaf curl quite severly. I'd like to prevent it from happening this year.
Copper works for me.

Show me some pictures of your trees and the pruning cuts. Plus the root
zone.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
In my vast experience of gardening, why not just chop the leaves off, then they'd never get curly. Peaches are furry not curly!!!!!
