Our newly planted peach tree (3rd year) was denuded of bark by a deer last fall. It has re-sprouted from below what looks to be a graft. Will it be a productive peach tree or another species?
No, we don't advise growing the suckers from the rootstock. It would prove inferior if it produces at all.
How can I treat this
This condition is generally from peach tree borers. Here are a couple articles that should help:

Hi I have a peach tree that looks like the leaves are dying. The fungus is very similar to what you have on the main page (Pinkish Curly color on the leaves) I also notes that bottom stem towards root also show peeling
Fruit trees need to be on a spraying schedule to do well. You may have several problems brewing, one being peach leaf curl. These articles should help:

U have 2 peach trees. A blushing star and a red haven. The blushing star is 2 years old and the red haven is 4 years. The blushing star started with reddish purple spots about 3 days ago. With more each day. Now my more mature red haven is starting to get the red spots and leaves are starting to turn yellow and call off. I sprayed with fungicide about 4 days ago. That was the 1st application. We haven't had a large amount of rain. Weather has been mid to upper 80's. Located in SC. The first 2 images are of the blushing star and the last 2 darker green leaves are of the red haven tree. Thanks!
It sounds like bacterial leaf spot but that is usually on older trees.

I bought a house last summer and inherited a peach tree. I have very limited knowledge of fruit trees or how to care for them. This spring, my tree had an absolute bumper crop of peaches and I was so excited! However, entire portions of branches are turning brown and the fruit is withering. Can you please give me some guidance on what to do?
IT looks like a Brown Rot, or similar fungus. They all have similar treatment. These articles will help:

I planted my peach tree the beginning of March.It was doing great producing fruit and lots of leaves. Suddenly, the leaves started turning yellow and curling up and eventually it lost everything! I started fertilizing it and giving it more water and it started producing leaves but they too curled up and died. I water it every 2 to 3 days since El Paso, Texas is so hot in summer. What am I doing wrong? Please help! I honestly even started talking to it like a crazy lady!
I would make sure to test the moisture level in the soil down to a depth of about 4 or 4 inches. You want the soil to be dry down to this depth between waterings. You do NOT want it to be dry down farther than this, however. Here is an article that will help you measure soil moisture:

With those parameters in check, any persisting problems can be considered a pathogen. In this case, Treatment will depend on the pathogen, as this doesn't stand out as anything in particular. In this case, you can have your soil tested for infections, or you can start with a clean slate with solarizing your lawn. Here are some articles that will help:
