Nectarine Problems
Pat has a problem with her minature nectarine tree (see below). Can anyone help? (Ed.)
Hi, I am a COGS member and I am hoping that someone can help me with a problem. I planted a miniature nectarine tree as bare root stock last winter and it flowered and now has lots of leaves. Yesterday I noticed that many leaves have a brownish discolouration on them and some leaves are curled. I suspect that the discoloured leaves will also curl soon.
Can you suggest a non chemical method of dealing with this problem?
Thank you.

Hi Pat, I come from the Bega Valley where there is a lot of Curly Leaf- some people I know just pick the leaves off
the trees & put them straight in the rubbish to keep the leaves away from everything in the garden. Tedious yes but
it has worked for those who have done it. Good luck!!!
