    There are a few reasons plants do not bloom. Most common, for plants that bloomed in the past and do not bloom now, is that they have either too much nitrogen or too little phosphorous. Give the tree some bone meal and this will help balance out either issue.

    There are many reasons that this could happen. I would look to make sure that it is getting enough water and, if you have not fertilized, I would go ahead and do this (after the plant has been well watered).

    This article will have some other suggestions on what it could be:

    There are several things that can do this, but likely it was poor pollination. If the flowers are not properly pollinated, the tree will drop the fruit as they will
    not produce a good seed. Here is some articles that you may find helpful:

    It is either a watering issue or a nutrient issue. Make sure the tree is getting water daily, twice a day in temps over 85 F. And give it slow release (balanced) fertilizer that will continually feed it. This article should also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/fertilizing-peach-trees.htm

    This is normally caused by either a watering issue or a fertilizer issue. I would recommend phosphorus heavy fertilizer. This will help with fruiting. As for fruit dropping, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-fruit-drop.htm

    You could try this home made insect spray; pepper and garlic spray 1/2 cup of fresh hot peppers 2 large cloves of garlic 2 cups of water 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Liquefy ingredients in a blender and strain the mixture through a sieve lined with a handkerchief. Transfer into a spray bottle and label. Spray the upper and lower leaf surfaces of plants that show insect damage. This spray contains enough hot volatile oils to burn the chewing and sucking mouth parts of insects, but wear rubber gloves and eye protection as this can burn your skin and eyes, hope this fix's your problem
