beeman,

Not a grower of peaches but first thought is to provide nutrients that won't burn the roots.
If it were mine I would probably mix in bone meal, well composted steer manure, and maybe some alfalfa pellets or rabbit manure with the soil. Then see how the tree does. I would think you could add a time release fertilizer anytime later if you think the tree is underfed. JMO
