What type of peach tree?
After the first year of established growth was any fertilizer applied?
First, where do you live? The grafted trees can take up to 4 years to bear fruit. Do they receive enough sun and water? Ever fertilized? If so, with what?
Unfortunately, you do not have a "citrus" tree as those encompass, lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc. So if you have been treating the tree as "citrus" that could be part of the problem. Also treating an unknown "growth" with a pesticide, organic or not can stunt growth of the tree. Next time that happens, cut the growth off, place in a sealed plastic bag and take to a nursery for help and remedies. At least Google to find out what the problem might be.
At this point it needs proper fertilization and lots of water and a boat load of patience while waiting. Once they do bear fruit you will be in paradise and the wait will be worth it. In the meantime, just enjoy as a beautiful tree in your landscape!
Sprinkle a cup of borax around a full-sized apple tree (or a couple of tablespoons around a young tree) every 3-4 years to add boron, a trace mineral, to the soil. It is needed for good cell wall growth and for fruit and seed development. We have been using this on all of our fruit trees including our pawpaw.
"Borax is a naturally occurring mineral also known as sodium borate. It doesn’t cause cancer, accumulate in the body, or absorb through the skin. It is not harmful to the environment."
