So, I created my own problem by "temporarily " planting the tree in the only spot I had at the time, planning on moving it the next year. That was 3 years ago and my 3' tree is now about 10' tall and 6' wide. It's way too close to the house for the size it will be full grown. Is it possible to relocate it in late winter when dormant? I mean I'll have to try it anyway, as the only other option is to cut it down, but I don't want to waste my time if it's not a good candidate for transplanting. Thanks.

How wide is the trunk? Anything over 5" in diameter is not worth the effort.

It actually has 4 trunks coming up from a base trunk that divides into the four right above ground level. The two small trunks are barely less than an inch, the two largest are 1.25" and 1.50", however the base at ground level is between 5" and 6". None look like leads, they all go off on an angle from the base (off to all four corners pretty evenly). It was an Ann Arbor Day purchase that I just stuck it in the ground without really looking at it and I haven't paid any attention to it. I was surprised to see how tall it grew this year. This was the first year it had any flowers, and it only had a handful. No fruit formed. Should I just permanently remove it? Not going to lie, it was a purchased on a whim so I don't have any real attachment to it and it's size concerns me as it is about 6' wide now and within a foot of contacting the side of the house.

If I had a place to move it to... I would...
If I hoped to get fruit... I'd probably go to the professional peach orchard.
In my area, peach trees are so badly infested with various fungi and pests that the fruit is not people food.
The flowers are pretty, though, so... I let them grow until the diseases affect the tree.
Best you can expect? Probably 7 or 8 years... maybe less.

If it's worth bothering with for a nice looking short-lived tree... then yes, move it and enjoy.

Otherwise... sever the roots with a mattock and push the tree over.

Thank everyone, I believe it's going to get the axe.

For this kind of jobs I call in Mr Andreas Stihl.

Well, I don't actually have an axe OR a chainsaw. so I'll be hacking away at it with my loppers, lol. Fortunately my neighbor said he would cart away the debris.

I'd strongly suggest investing in a good mattock and shovel.
As small as this tree is yet, simply cutting through the lateral roots with the mattock, and then cut through the tap root... will make very short work out of something that turns into a project with the loppers.
when we dig out the tree, we can plant something else...
