I went on a vaction for the past couple of days and i sprayed it with pesticide becuase i noticed that some bugs started to eat the fruit and leaves. It is only a young tree and when i came home all the leaves fell off, but the fruitlets are still on the tree. I had someone to water it for the week, i could have sprayed to much on the tree so what can i do to help it. Also it isn't planted yet becuase i didn't want to shock it since it started to fruit. Any suggestions would help.

Now that the leaves are off, the plant will be transpiring a lot less.
So now would be a good time to transplant it into the ground.
Since there are no leaves to make sugars for the fruit,
I would cut off all but one of the peaches and I would not be
surprised if that one fell off.

I planted my peach tree it is starting to look better and looking like it is going to put out some new leaves not that many though. I planted it just above the graft line but not all the much above it maybe an inch or less should it be higher than that? Also i am going to remove most of the fruitlets and i waswondering if in the winter since i get snow here should i cover the tree with burlap to protect it or will it be fine with no protection. It is in a spot where there are fences and a wall near it so would that be enough protection?
