Hi! My neighbor has some peach trees that have leaves with peach colored growths and some of the leaves are starting to bunch together. He is concerned about the health of the trees. Any ideas about what this might be? I’ve included a picture of one of the leaves.

Hello Christine,
It looks scary, but the trees will fine long term! It was a great spring for Peach Leaf Curl.
Not much can be done now when the leaves are infected. I would treat with lime sulphur or copper once the leaves have fallen in November and/or in March prior to budbreak.
