Dying peach tree

15 years ago

i planted several new semi-dwarf fruit trees this spring. the cicadas did some pruning but they are all mostly ok. the leaves all turned brown on one peach & they do not look like they are coming back. i am still watering until i'm sure it's dead. it is however producing a few leaves at ground level. are most of these semi-dwarf trees grafted onto different root stock??

Yes. Scratch bark of limbs. Green underneath, still alive.

do you think it will grow back from the base only or the tree itself will come back? it's been leafless for about 2 weeks. i had a dawn redwood sapling that i thought had died but kept watering it & it did come back so i've not given up on this tree yet.

The rootstock may survive. The top -- the part with the desirable/named fruit -- likely is dead.
