In fact, if there are really a lot of little peaches it might be good to
"fruit prune". This is removing some of the peaches so the ones remaining
will grow bigger. Peaches are one of the easiest fruits for southern New
York.

How important is that ans is it normal to have 10+ peaches
drop off like this especially this early??

A friend who knows more about this than I (Don't get too arrogant, Voni,
that ain't hard to achieve) suggests that this is likely normal behavior.
If the tree had really good pollination and heavy fruit set, there may be
too many for it mature well, so it drops the excess. Are there still good
numbers of peaches on it?

Rain today, earlier than predicted. What a shock.
