Houston TX zone 9Q.peach tree
I planted a peach tree early this spring in the wrong area. The rains came and the leaves all wilted. I removed tree and put in large pot with rose soil, added root stimulator. It's been a couple of days and the leaves are still wilted, any thoughts how this tree can be saved? Thanks

Certified ExpertA.Your tree has undergone two transplants in a short period of time. Transplants are stressful on trees and it will take more than a few days for it to recover and adjust to its new home. My best advice is to give it some time and ensure that you are giving your tree the growing conditions and care that it requires which are outlined in the following article:

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, there is not much you can do at this point. Control is impossible once symptoms appear. It is recommended however, to "maintain tree vigor by thinning more fruit than normal, reducing drought stress with irrigation, and applying extra nitrogen fertilizer."

Certified ExpertA.I need a little more information - there are so many reasons for twig dieback that I would like to try to narrow this down a little.
Have you noticed any rosettes or little leaves like this:

Certified ExpertA.What you are seeing is gummosis - it is a gum/sap that oozes in response to injury, whether by insects (peach tree borer), mechanical injury (such as by pruning), winter damage, or virus/disease.
Below are links that will assist you in diagnosing your tree. The Cornell fact sheets will also help you in repairing your split bark.

extreme southeastern illinois.Q.proper care for peach tree sprouts
I planted 24 peach seeds and they all sprouted and I transplanted them from the little seedling paper pots into plastic ice cream buckets. I used Scott's potting soil. The tree sprouts were doing good but now they are wilting. They are getting watered regularly. What do I need to do to save them? I've spent a lot of time getting this far and don't want to lose them.
