Blistering Peach Tree Leaves

Question

Hi, My peach tree has had what looks like blisters on the leaves yellow to pink bubbly discoloration and curling of the leaves the last two years, but this year the leaves are then turning brown and dying. And I noticed this year the number of fruit seems to be way down. Thanks for any advice

Fortunately, this seems like a mild and treatable disease called "Peach Leaf Curl".

This will respond to most treatments, so using less harsh sprays, such as sulfur, Lime sulfur, or plant based fungicides will be safest.
