Peach tree #868672

Asked May 16, 2024, 9:38 AM EDT

I planted a Contendor Peach tree last summer. I just noticed the leaves are curling up and am wondering what it is and how to take care of it. I've attached a picture.

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!
