Good Morning Carmen,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Based on your photo, I believe your tree has peach leaf curl. Please click on this link from the Wisconsin Extension about this disease: https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/peach-leaf-curl/#:~:text=Peach%20leaf%20curl%20is%20caused,during%20this%20period%20favors%20infection.
Here is another excellent link about growing stone fruits: https://extension.umn.edu/fruit/growing-stone-fruits-home-garden
Good Luck!
