Peach Leaf Curl on Ornamental Peach: Fungal, Not Insect

Q: Ornamental peach leaves distorted, no insects found. Treatment?

A: Peach leaf curl—fungal, not insect galls. Farmers spray fungicide at bud break; for ornamental, just fertilize and water. Fungus needs exact conditions, unlikely to repeat next year.
