So, again, there are many reasons for leaf curl. The good news is that Peach Leaf Curl hasn’t contaminated the compost or garden soil. Take a few samples of the curly leaves to your local garden center and have a nursery professional help identify the problem(s). My guess would be that you have some type of sucking insect problem.
