Dwarf Peach Tree

[max26758]

I have a dwarf peach tree in a patio pot. This is its second year.Having had some nice fruit last year I have noticed that most of the leaves this year are curled up and discoloured. It looks rather pathetic and I wondered if anyone out there has had a similar problem. Help required if you can advice me.

Sounds like what it looks like "Peach curl Disease"

Thank you Ann, it certainly looks like the picture on the web site you suggested. may be too late this year to control it.

We had the same problem with a nectarine 2-3 years ago. Treated with Bordeaux Mixture as directed and had no problem since. Incidentally we took it out of the pot and planted directly into the patio and ot's really flourished.

Thank you paddywak. I have been looking on the internet for Vitax Bordeaux mixture and will give it a go.
