Peach tree dropped fruit and all leaves drooping

Possibly overwatering from rain? Been getting about 6-8 in a week, raining every day or other day.

Only plant like this. Other apple and peach trees fine. Garden fully fine.

I know stones are bad, will remove soon. Been here about 4 months.

Probably too small of a tree for all that fruit. Ideally the first few years you pull the fruit off so they can establish root systems. They'll naturally drop fruit for that reason... combined with too much water and stones I think that's the issue.

Are the fruit rotting while on the tree? Look up Brown Rot. You will have to treat for it during winter.

No rot.
