Peach trees:

I had a peach, Apricot, and Nectarine, planted and they all grew, to about 8 ft tall. the Peach and apricot started to have fruit. Then,,last spring the peach and apricot, shot out new leaves in the Spring that promptly withered and died along with the entire tree. My Nectarine struggled, but came around and grew all summer. Now this spring it has done the same and is dieing. I have no borer problem, no sign of any disease. The only clue I can come up with is that the last couple yrs have been Extremely wet,,especially in the spring. I have heavy clay soil. I figure Peach type trees do not like heavy wet soil. I have apple and pear trees nearby that are doing fine. My neighbor, across the road is haveing the same result to some of his peach trees? Are the very wet conditions, a Possible Cause??
