Wonder what happened?A few weeks ago,was full of peaches and leaves.All the fruit fell off,or shriveled up,and so did the leaves.Looks like a little new growth on the tips of the limbs.Wife googled it,got some Copper leaf fungus something or nother and sprayed them.Didnt help.
 
I have 2 peach trees that were loaded tot he gills with peaches... sprayed them a couple of times to kill the jap beetles... them right before we picked them the june bugs appeared and devoured both trees.. got less than a walmart sack full of peaches... was expecting 2-3 buschels.... did you spray yours with anything?

I am no peach expert but that tree needs to be pruned imo. it doesn't show the proper form for a peach tree to encourage air circualtion.

I am cutting my two peach trees down. I have never had luck. Japanese beetles (which were not here this year) worms or other bugs get them every year. I don't want to use pesticides so it is apples pears and plums for my orchard from now on.
 
I dont know much about peaches but sounds like it could be peach leaf curl, but I would have had to been seeing this tree all growing season to really know. Cool, wet years are when it is worse. As a general rule of fungus, once you have the problem, its to late for that year. You treat peach leaf curl when the tree is dormant. Anyway, Im sure there are alot of good reads out there on it, UC Davis generally has great info on peaches.
