Often times fruit trees a homeowner has are dwarfs (or semi-dwarfs). This means the roots are from a different tree/shrub and the full sized fruit tree was grafted on so even if you could root a 2 inch diameter tree it's not likely what you had growing, size wise.
Try a splint? Support it by tying it to a triangle of stakes and see if it works. If it is a dwarf, it's the only way to try and save the tree.
(A dwarf peach should mature at 12 to 16 feet tall, about half the size of the peach tree.)

Currently listening to: Vince Guaraldi Trio -- A Charlie Brown Christmas. Adult and contemporary but evocative of youth and innocence, a must own CD.
