Is it already too late to spray for it? I got behind and finally looked at my peach trees and can see white tips on the buds. It seems the damage is probably already done. Any ideas?

The most important of the three recommended three applications for peach leaf curl is at bud swell, which has not yet occurred here in the Portland area. I will be applying my second spray at the next dry period and the last later at bud swell.

I also do 2 to 3 applications before February, The correct timing is at bud swell.

But, the buds look swollen already here in southwest Washington and the white tips are showing already. It seems the spores or whatever they are already have access into the buds. It seems early but thats what I see.
