My apricot tree is unwell. the leaves start off looking ok, but then start to fade and develop small reddish spots. Now the leaves are starting t die back. Please see photos.

Can anyone identify the problem and, more to the point, advise me what to do about it?imageimageimage

    I think you have peach leaf curl. The only way to stop it is to rig up a cover to stop it getting rained on. The leaves will drop off and be replaced by healthy leaves later on.
