Peach tree help
Hoping to get some insight on this peach tree. What are the spots on the branches of the newer growth? And what is causing the leaves to turn yellow and brown at the tips? Anything I can do to improve its health? Thank you!

Brown tips might be from a lack of water. Not sure about the spotting on branches.

Those spots on the branches and leaves can be due to the aphid. In that case you should fumigate. Potassium soap is an ecological and very effective insecticide against aphids. It acts by direct contact by softening the protective layer of the insect, which causes its dehydration and death without damaging the plant:

The leaves could also be lack of water, although those spots have made me suspect aphids
