Beginner Gardening: peach tree disease??, 1 by bigkim11

Hello all - I'm brand new here and I just bought a house that has a peach tree in the backyard. It's super tall and looks like nobody bothered pruning it for years. It must be at least 20 feet high. Anyhow, the leaves are coming out now and seem to be diseased. I did some searching and came across something called leaf curl. Does this look right? If so, can I do anything about it? Or do I have to wait until fall to treat it with fungicide?

On a separate note, how should I start trimming this thing down? I read that a peach tree should only be 8 feet tall!

Thanks!
