Peach leaf curl is a common peach disease in the Willamette Valley. Some years it is worse than others due to weather conditions. Peach leaf curl doesn't kill trees outright, but the resulting defoliation can cause the trees to be weakened. If defoliation occurs for several years then the tree may die.
At this point in the growing season there are no effective treatments.
