Delayed posting. This is the genetic dwarf peaches - more peach bush than peach tree. The crops are very rewarding, and the peaches are delicious. They get peach leaf curl very badly, unless protected from rain.
I left the protective cage in place all year, just removing the plastic cover in late Spring. This time, instead of tying the plastic down at the corners, I used duct tape to reinforce the sides of the sheet, with a loop of string every foot or so.
Without rain on the nodes, there is no leaf curl disease. I'll prune off the exposed branches in Spring, and shorten the branches once I can observe the flower buds.
