How does peach leaf curl grow?
Peach leaf curl, caused by peach leaf curl, grows by infecting leaves during cool, wet weather as spores land on them. The fungus penetrates vulnerable tissues, usually in spring. As temperatures rise, it proliferates, causing leaves to distort and color. The infection cycle completes when these deformed leaves produce new spores, which are then spread to infect next year's growth.
