Hi Joel,

Peach Leaf Curl is a very common issue this year. We had great conditions for it this spring. At this point, we cannot cure already infected leaves. The best way to manage this issue is to spray lime sulphur or copper after the leaves fall around October or before budbreak next March. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/treat_peach_leaf_curl_now
