Is my peach tree dead?

I’m not sure what happened but my peach tree isn’t getting leaves. The branches on the end are brittle but I did a little cut on the tree bark on the trunk and it was green under so I don’t think she’s dead. I’m not sure what may have caused this. I thought at first it was because she didn’t get enough chill hours but we got over 1000 hours here in Seattle area.

Pyr_Pressure,

My grandpa’s peach tree had had leaves and flowers for almost a month now, a few hours north of Seattle. Not sure if there are different early/late varieties or not.

Nurgle,

Looks like there are plenty of buds on there? And if you’re seeing green that’s good. Is it its first year in the ground? I would wait and see since there’s not much you can do at this point. I have several trees that are fully leafed out by this point and some that are just waking up, so could just need some more time / warmer weather. It’s still in the 40s at night here.

Aermis,

It’s the 4th year in the ground. Good to know it’s not dead.

24_at_the_withers,

It looks like there’s buds on it. It’s fine. It will flower first, and then leaves will start to come in.

Seems to be a ‘late bloomer’, I don’t know enough about the particulars of your climate of this specific tree to speculate on why.

Aermis,

Oh that’s good news. Yeah it does look like buds, I wonder what caused the late bloom.

catloaf,

If it’s green, it’s not dead. Is it really not budding at all?

SchmidtGenetics,

Zooming in as much as I can, it does look like some ends are budding compared to others? They obviously know better and more though.
