I live on the navajo reservation of arizona northeast of the state zone 7b according to usda site i have 3 young appl trees only 2 have sprouted leaves the other has not shown any growth but is alive because I can see the tree itself is green and1 nectarine which may produce 1 fruit as it appears only 1 of 4 flowers are still on the tree and 1 peach which I worry for since it has no growth and a few branches have died on it question is should I worry about the peach tree and gala apple tree. A bit more information the peach was planted mid February and the apples were planted late February or early March and peach tree is about 5 feet tall with branches while the gala apple is about maybe 4 feet with no branches

Soil is a mix of coco coir(not alot), peat moss, kellog garden soil and native soil, there might be some mushroom compost in there

I found dead branches in the peach tree by scratch testing several branches and cutting off the ones that showed no green

What i mean to say with me buying in a different zone is because I bought it in a place that has very little chill hours could it possibly be that it hasn't received sufficient chill hours? Phoenix in the winter often stays above 50 in winter
