Mine are loaded too, but the caterpillars are taking a toll. I have never seen so many caterpillars, many types, everywhere! They are eating everything!

Anyone have experience thinning fruit off peach trees. Is it really
going to improve fruit quality? I can see limbs breaking off if I left
all these little fruits on.

Yes, the fruit will be larger if you thin. If not, you'll have fruit on top
of each other and all on the small side.

Yes, limbs can break or become so loaded you're sure they will. You'll
regret it in August if you don't.
