    Splitting most commonly occurs in freezing weather. If the wound is not weeping or splitting further, then you should just leave it alone to heal on its own. If the split is widening, you can try protective paper (sold at nurseries) to help hold it together while it heals. Do not cover the wound with tar or any other permanent substance as this can trap disease in the wound.

    Splitting bark may occasionally be caused by borers as well. This article will help determine if this is the case for your peach tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-borer.htm

    Peach trees need to be pruned and thinned well to produce fruit. If your tree is at least 3 years old and it carries the immature fruit throughout the season, that may be your problem. If it's dropping the small fruit too early, check for small scars on the fruit. You may have an insect infestation.

    You can grow it indoors, but it would need alot of light, which is something that most houses cannot provide.

    That being said, there are varieties of peaches that will grow where you are. For example Reliance or Red Haven are 2 varieties that will grow where you live and there are more. I recommend that you visit a locally owned nursery and see what they have to offer. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

    This is from under watering. The tree is still trying to establish itself and with the hot summer, it is stressed and needs extra water. It is aborting its new growth (the branch tips) to try to save itself. Increase watering. Water deeply and for extended periods rather than frequently.
