Hi, Al, Almost any plant will suffer a shock during transplanting. Keep in mind that you planted this in its growing season; best tree planting times are fall and spring. What does “it has not been watered excessively” mean? Almost any transplant needs to have enough moisture to allow its roots to relax and spread. Fertilizer is not a miracle potion; There may be many things to consider, based on your information about the plant and its circumstances; we suggest that you consider the growing advice here (it champions this plant in Texas, too): http://nassau.ifas.ufl.edu/horticulture/fruit/peach.html
Here is very good guidance on growing fruit trees in general; note the description of the hole and its preparation; did you do this?? http://homeorchard.ucdavis.edu/8048.pdf
Another option is to contact the source from which you got the plant.
We hope this helps. There is nothing like homegrown peaches!
