Thin peach, nectarine trees to get larger fruit

Thin out peach and nectarines to produce larger fruit during the next two to three weeks. Thinning, or the removal of fruit by hand, is an important step in growing larger and higher-quality peaches and nectarines. Enough fruit is removed from the tree so that the remaining fruit gets larger. We typically target this fruit to reach the size of 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
