Please look at these pics. This is a peach tree I planted 3 years ago. Last
year it had a touch of what appeared to be leaf curl, and the damage was
minimal. This year, the tree appears to be all but dead:
Is there any reason to not just remove the tree now? Is it possible that it
can survive?

Poor thing looks very neglected/abused, it's never been pruned... but for
sure someone hit it with a dose of defoliant of some sort, maybe a good
blast of over spray. Even if it lives it'll never give a decent crop. Why
do foks plant in such unprotected places, on land that makes a junk yard
appear aesthetic, and then expect their plants to thrive let alone live...
it's very likley been planted in contamintaed soil, I bet Super Fund land.
That property looks absolutely disgusting.. it's best that poor tree dies a
quick death. Do NOT plant anything else there, except you!

Did I mention that my property used to be a storage site for radioactive
waste? I put this tree right over a green glowing spot. I figured the extra
light would be good for it...

You want mostly red or blue light for plants.
Tree looks to me like it wants potassium. Either
it's not available, or the roots (and maybe trunk) are
having trouble taking it up. I'd guess the tree
was either overwatered or it's been eaten by borers --
look for six or seven very neatly spaced tunnels
where the trunk breaks in half.
