Trying to get opinions on what could have caused this and if it's going to heal up and be alright. I looked for borers, but couldn't really find any tunneling and its really not oozing all that much. What do ya'll think?

I'm assuming that's a borer? I figured that's what it was even when you said you couldn't find anything at first because peaches are basically borer food.

Yep, thats what it was. I guess the tunnel just wasn't big enough to see before. These are the first 2 peach trees I've had any luck with, so I'm still a little green.

Farmers know to never drive a tractor near a honey locust tree. But a tiny ad is okay:
