Dormant peach tree

This spring I bought a peach tree which remains alive but has done absolutely nothing since its immediate planting - no budding at all. An apricot tree bought and planted at the same time has done well and is looking quite healthy beside the sorry peach.

I had the same thing happen with a redcurrant bush last year. I think it has something to do with the way they are treated to maintain dormancy before they are sold. I just kept it well watered all last year and this year it has sprouted as normal...no flowers or fruit though.
