Harvester Peach ???

Have any of you grown the Harvester Peach variety? Ours has no leaves, buds, or signs of life. It's around 6.5 feet/2 meters tall and still in the planting bucket. All of the rest of fruit trees we bought at the same time have leaves (Pear, Plums 2 different varieties, other Peach, and Fig.) I'm wondering if Harvester is late to produce leaves, or did I waste $25.99?

What does the wood look like? Stems round and full like the other peach or a bit dried up and shriveled. If in doubt, just nip the tip off a branch and look for a green layer just the bark

The stems are round and full looking and doesn't look dried up. It looks healthy - just without leaves.

Sounds Ok to me, not personally familiar with it, only thing I can think of is it has not reached its required chill time
