Iron chlorosis is a serious problem in alkaline soils and certainly I sell a lot of iron supplements to gardeners in the Great Basin region of the U.S. For this peach though, the problem appears to be over damp roots.

I agree with Richard on this . In some local nurseries here the first words out of their mouth is IRON .... But if you stick you finger into the soil it comes up wet . Then they add that its hot and plants need water ! People buy Iron and load the plants down "wammo its green" Still wet and slow growing until someone just leave it alone. Not to many peach trees in Florida but citrus does same thing.
I like to put iron on my lawn so it gets that deep green color
