grannys gone and done it

We have a peach tree planted by the previous owners. It is loaded with peaches every year, but they don't grow and fall off. Peach leaf curl. I need to spray it, but never think of it in time. So many pits over the years, it's like piles of rocks.

what are you supposed to spray it with ? If there not growing I would think fertilize ?

You probably would have noticed it before if you have it. It's a fungus.

This is how big the fruit gets before it falls off. Some year we will remember to spray.
