If the tree has loads of peaches (ours does) it might be a good idea to feed with a high potash food soon (soluble is best and water to the width of the branches under the tree). Do not feed the tree in the autumn or with high nitrogen feeds otherwise it will get sappy growth and make the matter worse next year. Comfrey will give a good high potash feed. I would suggest a good organic liquid tomato feed but a normal one is impossible to find in France.You can spray before the leaves come out but as leaf curl does not kill the tree so I don't. I only use chemicals where there is no option.Dihttp://www.iceni-it.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
