Peach Leaf Curl
The fungus Taphrina Deformans causes this plant’s disease. As you can guess from the disease’s name, it affects Peach trees and other fruit trees like nectarines, apricots, and almonds. Sometimes it’s shortly known as ‘Curl’ and it doesn’t have mercy for the plant because it causes severe warp of the leaves in spring, destroying them prematurely. Its working time in spring is not coincidental because fungal spores are fond of warmth. The wet weather during this period even worsens the plant’s condition since fungal spores can create new infections.
