Little Peaches. Can I start thinning? #930315

Asked May 01, 2026, 3:47 PM EDT

Hey Fine Folks, I was not able to prune my peach tree this winter due to the mils temperature. The branches now have itsy-bitsy peaches. Can I thin those now? Thank you, Scott

Hi Scott,

Yes, you can thin your peaches now--though you might wait until after the storm this week just to see if you have any "natural thinning".  Aim to have one peach every 4-5 inches.

Good luck!

Cordially,

John
