How and when to transplant in Tucson, Arizona?
Peach Trees should be moved when they are dormant.
By moving them when they are dormant you reduce transplant shock.
In the Southern climates you can transplant a Peach Tree in December or January.
I have an Alberta peach tree just over two years old. The tree fruited last year. Lovely fruit but few in number. Foliage was ample and very healthy. Again this year, lots and lots of healthy foliage but not many peaches. I have netted the tree (lots of parrots and other birds here). It was pruned during winter. Any ideas please? Thank you, Geoff
From this image your tree looks healthy, but quite dense.
Thinning the tree will help with fruit production.

I have peach trees that have been growing in a large planting container for almost 2 years. The roots have grown through the bottom of the pots. How can I plant them in the ground without doing a lot of damage to the tree.
If you live in a southern climate you can go ahead and transplant the trees in Dec or Jan.
It is best to make the move to the ground while the tree is dormant, this will reduce the plant shock as much as possible.
Take care in planting in the new hole to make sure there are no air pockets.
Keep the tree at the same level it was in the pot.
Water to keep the soil moist and add 2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch making sure to keep it away from the trunk of the tree.
Cut back the watering when the tree is established.
Do not fertilize until the tree is actively growing.
My peach trees are breaking buds and it's only Mar. 2! Am I too late to fertilize? The trees are about 3-4 yrs. old.

Spring is the time to apply the tree's first fertilizer application for the growing season.

My peach trees bloom and bear fruit. The problem is the fruit is attacked by insects, etc. and are ruined. What can I do to keep this from happening? Thank you.

My peach tree is attacked by insects and consequently the fruits are no good. How do I control insects attacking the fruits? How do the fruits get bigger? What type of fertilizer I should use?

This is my first season with this peach tree. It is young, the trunk is only 10" round. Two weeks ago it was beautiful and full of gorgeous pink blossoms. They have fallen and the tree is full of new leaves. Upon inspection today, I see that the leaves have what looks like red blisters and many leaves have already withered and look dead. What should I do? This is the 2nd week of new new leaves.
This sounds like the fungus Peach Tree Leaf curl.
Here is a link with more information and how to treat this fungus.
