    If you had a severe enough frost, then yes, this most definitely could cause your trees not to bear blossoms or fruit. There could also be a problem with pollination due to a lack of insect activity.

    I too, have this problem on a plum tree. It is on the bottom near ground level.I think my husband hit it with the line trimmer. The tree did also die. I have a weeping willow with the same problem. Same reason. He said it was caused by bugs.

    As long as it is green below the bark, it will leaf out. I would give it a little additional time.

    There are two ways to grow peaches from the seed or pit. First, collect peach pits during summer and sow them directly in the ground in fall about 4 inches deep. Add some mulch to the planting area. It should sprout in the spring. Alternatively, you can place the seed in a small pot about three months before the last frost date in your area. Dampen the soil and cover with a plastic bag. Place it in the refrigerator until threat of frost has passed. Take the pot out of the bag and place in a warm, sunny window keeping the soil moist. Transplant outdoors in spring.

    Other than wilting, is there any other symptom? Wilting alone can indicate many different things. Peach Verticillium wilt generally affects only one side of the tree and may display discoloration. Peach tree borer can also affect these fruit trees. For more information on these pests, here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-borer.htm
