Sounds like "Peach Leaf Curl" to me..

At this time of the year you can only pick off the affected leaves - then 'Google Peach leaf curl remedies' for what to do in the Autumn at leaf fall.

I followed all instructions and still got leaf curl this year, so the spraying advice isn't foolproof! I am religiously picking off affected leaves each day hoping that the 25 fruitlets will stay on the tree and not fall off like they did last year. Btw - I'm talking about the nectarine tree which turned out to be a peach tree  ::).

I had a worse deal on some fruit bushes, they turned out to be ornamental shrubs!
It was an Aldi special.

so was ours  ;D..we got leaf curl really badly last year, only managed 3 fruits  :-\
this year, we made a cover over the top of the tree out of plastic, not a bit of curl and loaded with fruit, I am going to thin them after the june drop  ;D

oh that's interesting...my pear tree has developed curled leaves too. Also from Aldi! It said it was a conference pear - perhaps it's a nectarine??
