It is positioned next to the Peppercorn tree and under a Gumtree and a Pittosporum. I have trimmed back the dead parts and tried to trim the surrounding trees as much as I can to give it more light.
I am new to fruit tree owning. I had them growing up but paid no attention to their care. I happened to catch an episode of Vasili's Garden back in June, where he gave directions on how to spray for leaf curl. I will explain the steps here.
First of all you need a teaspoon of Bluestone Copper Sulphate
Then two teaspoon of Hydrated Lime.
Make sure you have the right Lime, ask at your gardening supplies store to be sure.
Measure out a litre of warm water and use some to mix the powders together.
Add the remainder of the water and pour it all into a spray bottle.
Spray the entire tree. This needs to be done once in June, once in July, once in August and twice a month in Spring. Stop once the flowers arrive.
Our Nectarine had some horrible leaf problems last year, let's hope this helps it this year.
