Hello all.

We are interested protecting our Dwarf Georgia Belle peach tree leaves from Leaf Curl Rot by spraying with a lime sulphur mixture. Does anyone know what kind of base to mix it in, and what proportions to use? E-mail copies welcome.

Thanks

Response to Lime Sulphur mixture for Leaf Curl Rot

We use it mixed with water.Amounts are on the bottle,and boy does it stink! I do not know how to make it at home. Sorry. We use it often on boxwood and other evergreens.

Make sure to spray the trees at least twice and preferably three times during the dormant season - about four weeks apart. Keep an eye out for white flys and aphids and use malathion on the leaves.
