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.



Why?

David

Because I could better diagnose your real problem. Why not?

Why not? Because I know peach leaf curl when I see it. But that's me, I
cannot say if the OP can but he asked how to treat it.

I think sometimes you are really trying to help. But when you go on with your
pet subjects to the exclsion of all else you are just trying. To a kid with a
hammer everything is a nail.

By seeing the pictures I could tell you alot about the vitality of the tree
and the cause of the problems. I do not like to make any recommendations
regarding prescribing questionable chemicals unless I have at least see a
tree in person of some pictures. Would not be very professional. Would a
doctor prescribe a questionable prescription for a patient without ever
seeing the patient? The tree care industry has a long way to go.

A good site for links on what may be a questionable pesticide can be found
he See Pesticide Issues
