    I dont protect the peaches at all but it does lose all its first leaves to curl, ive heard lime-sulphur paint in winter can prevent it but thats way too much effort for me! If you can cover it eg. a polytunnel they can avoid it, same as blight in tomatoes and stuff.

    For fertiliser focus higher P-K and micronutrients over nitrogen. Mulch should help a lot though, maybe its just not meant to be like my kiwi :sad:
