RE: Can too many peaches be a bad thing?
My grandfather's peach tree looked like a Frankenstein monster with 2x4's all over propping the limps up when the fruit came. We would have to thin it each season or risk the branches snapping all off. I'd love to have that many peaches though...for canning.
I would have been okay with hundreds of smaller fruit, but now I understand why people always tell me to thin fruit. The health of the tree is more important in the long run to have consistent great harvest . I guess fruit trees really need humans to care for them to produce amazing fruit. It's a special relationship.
