A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Shrubs and Trees Leaf curl

Hi,

I have a nectarine tree that I've been having a problem with leaf curl over the last 3 seasons. This year I discovered Neem Oil. What a difference! I had tried various fungicides, soaps, etc with little difference. Now with the Neem Oil, after the first spraying I noticed a distinct result. The tree actually looks alive again! It really was a great improvement. Hope this helps any of you having such a problem.

Welcome, Muriel. Thank you for the tip.

Nectarines are susceptible to several problems so a regular regimen of spraying is needed in order to insure harvesting a good crop. Potential disease problems include peach leaf curl.
