    You might have peach leaf curl. Take a look at this rundown of peach tree diseases (each has a link to its own article) and see which resembles yours the best.

    Make sure the Peach variety that you are trying to start is hardy to your zone 5 growing conditions.
    If you are just using a Peach from a store bought Peach, it may not be a variety that you can grow in your garden.

    This article may help you with this task.

    This could be a disease or could potentially be damage from herbicides or another toxin.
    This site has a diagnostic key for fruit diseases. Scroll down about halfway to see the section about peach trees:

    Here is another good resource for your region:

    Check if any of these match the symptoms:
