Year after year my peach tree produces peaches with black spots on them. What treatment can I use to prevent this?

My peach tree is full of quarter to egg size white peaches, but I noticed that many of them are just dropping to the ground, about 40 peaches. What is going on?

I have one peach tree that is still in bud while all my others have bloomed, set fruit, and leafed out. I have scratched the bark and it is green underneath and cut a few small branches from different limbs and they are all green. I have checked for borer worms at its base and found no signs. We have had plenty of rain, temperatures have been good, and I even mixed up a little plant food in water and poured it over the base of the tree, but it will not wake up. Anything else I can try?
There are a few things that can be happening. I think the most likely is that the tree is sitting in a microclimate in your yard. This can be caused by hills, buildings, dips in the ground and even other plantings. Microclimates can cause an area in a yard to be up to a full zone higher or lower than other areas of the yard and may be as small as just a few feet. The tree may be thinking that it is just not time yet, due to a microclimate. If you have not seen this tree doing this before, think about any new changes around that tree, such as new structures, that may have slightly adjusted winds or sunlight on that area, which affect the localized zone.
How do I get the peaches before the squirrels or birds?

Our peach tree has lots of small fruit, but some of them have clear bump-like things on them which look like they're eating through the skin into the fruit, causing black oozing places. How can I prevent this and what is it? Also, my lemon trees froze during the past winter and sucker limbs are coming from the root end of the plant. How can I save my lemon and lime trees?

I live in southern California. My gardener planted a young peach tree last August. During the winter the tree lost its leaves as expected. Now all my trees and flowers are in bloom, but my peach tree is still bare. It doesn't look dead but it only has a few very small leaves on it and it doesn't have any buds; and it doesn't look like it's going to grow anything anytime soon. The gardener said it should have leaves in a couple of weeks, but I don't think so. He has no experience with peach trees, which he didn't tell me when he put it in. Could you tell me what to expect (if and when) and what I could do, if anything? I'm totally in the dark about the tree.
As long as the stems are still alive, the tree should come back. This article will help determine if the tree is alive: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm
I planted year old peach trees last spring but didn't prune them back. What should I do at this point? Is it too late to cut off all the branches?
I would wait to prune them. Not pruning them is not going to hurt them, especially for as young as it is. Wait until next year and prune as you should.
