Copper Spray on Dormant Peaches

Here are the directions for Liqui Cop, a Copper Based spray to prevent leaf curl in Peaches and Apricots
MIXING AND SPRAYING DIRECTIONS
Fill spray tank half full of water. Add recommended amount of LIQUI-COP. Add balance of water.
Using either a hose-end or pressurized hand sprayer, apply at the rate of one gallon mixed
spray solution to 200 sq. ft. of garden area or up to two gallons mixed spray solution to a
large tree. Thoroughly wet foliage to the point of runoff, taking care to cover all plant surfaces.
Agitate the container of mixed spray solution regularly during application to maintain an
adequate suspension.
3-4 Tablespoons per gallon. 

In the past I have been negligent in getting the peaches sprayed. It is kind of disheartening to arrive in the Spring when the leaves should come out and many of the leaves are severely distorted and buckled and then they dry out and are useless to the tree.

So.. this year they are getting the copper!
An old nurseryman said that your should spray to prevent leaf curl at every holiday.. it spaces it out about 2 weeks apart and enough spray gets on.  I have already missed the Thanksgiving spray.  This bottle says 2 sprays should be enough.. We will see.
