Hi Susan,
We had our plant pathologist look at your photos. It looks like your tree has succumbed to damage from peach tree borers. Unfortunately, the damage looks so severe that it is not worth applying treatment at this point; it won't recover. We recommend that you contact an arborist to have it removed.
