Each year the leaves of my dwarf peach tree develope red blisters.
I took a leaf to a local garden shop and they didn't know how it was
happening. I can send a picture if needed.

Try this http://www.caf.wvu.edu/kearneysville/wvufarm8b.html. or
http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC2209.htm My guess from this
distance would be Bacterial Spot.

Thanks for the reply. Its not Bacterial Spot there's no white center,
no shot look.
It starts as a green blister, that turns red. I post a picture on
alt.binariies.pictures.gardens

Can't find alt.binaries.pictures.gardens on Google

Yes, please send a pic to alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. In the meantime,
search the Web for a disease called Peach Leaf Curl.

Is it this?

Hard to imagine a reputable nursery that couldn't identify leaf curl,
but you never know.

Ya that's what it is Leaf Curl. Seems the tree has bacterial spot as
well.

Thanks to all for the help.

What you are describing is Peach Leaf Curl. The pictures displayed in
some of the postings are extreme cases, and likely as not yours will
not be this pronounced. Some peach varieties are less susceptible to
the disease than others.

Regardless, to what commercial chemicals manufactures advertise as a
cure. I have found, over the years, dealing with this disease, there
is only one satisfactory cure I have found. It is Copper, and must be
applied during dormancy. I use Ortho brand, and the name of it is
"Copper". I have used other fungicides but with only limited success.

I apply it twice a year, once after leaf fall, and again just before
bud swell.

If there is only a few leaves that are infected, harvest(pick) them
and get them away from the tree. Sometimes you can limit the spread
until dormit spraying time.

Have a good day-SodB!

Could be worse. Easy enough to treat, but you have to wait for
dormancy. My peach is curl-free this year, thankfully, but I have
been treating for a couple of years.

We have a tree that's had this about 3 seasons now. I don't think there's a
healthy leaf on this thing now and are considering taking it down.

Is it worth trying to save it by treating for it now? Or should we just go
ahead and chop it down?

Sally,
Have you sprayed with any fungicide, as suggested? You don't mention the age
of
the tree. Is it continuing to bear fruit?

The tree's probably about 5 or 6 years old. It hasn't borne fruit in the
last few years because of the curl, and no, never treated it.

is there somebody I can contact in Nafex to ask about grafting onto black
cherries? I found two references online, which have more or less
contradictory info:

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache...5&ie=UTF-8

says that various different cherry grafts were tried on wild black cherry
and they didn't work. They don't seem to have tried a sweet cherry graft,
though, but sour cherries.

http://delta.ulib.org/ulib/data/moa/...b00/9/data.txt

seems to indicate you can use wild black cherries as the rootstock and it
will make the tree grow tall ...
