My minature peach tree is 4 yrs. old and has always been healthy. This yr., it's leaves are closing in on themselves. Even the branches seem to droop. Help!

Hi Noreen,
A few things come to mind.
Verticillium wilt could be a possibility.

Nematodes

Peach leaf curl. Any discoloration to the leaves?

X Disease also results in discoloration to the leaves eventually.

Any of that seem to fit?
