Please look at these pics. This is a peach tree I planted 3 years ago.
Last year it had a touch of what appeared to be leaf curl, and the damage
was minimal. This year, the tree appears to be all but dead:

Poor thing looks very neglected/abused, it's never been pruned... but for
sure someone hit it with a dose of defoliant of some sort, maybe a good
blast of over spray. Even if it lives it'll never give a decent crop. Why
do foks plant in such unprotected places, on land that makes a junk yard
appear aesthetic, and then expect their plants to thrive let alone live...
it's very likley been planted in contamintaed soil, I bet Super Fund land.
That property looks absolutely disgusting.. it's best that poor tree dies a
quick death. Do NOT plant anything else there, except you!
