    Might be Peach Leaf Curl?

    Disease,
    http://www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/sheets/peachleafcurl.html

    There is a leaf curl plum aphid that can effect other plants. The damage is different. The whole leaf curls and wrinkles up then falls off. Your photos more resemble a disease. Control is not too difficult. That fact sheet link above is very informative.

    Regards Jim.
