Fruit Dwarf peach tree question

[parsonswife]

We planted a dwaft peach tree last year and this year we have fruit. I'm concerned because the fruit is all jumbled with several peaches crowded touches each other with no room to grow.

Do I need to remove some? Will they just fall off if crowded?

You must thin, if you want edible fruit! Snip or *carefully* twist off all but one peach on each cluster. They should be 4" or further apart on the branch. Do it now, so they have the resources to size up correctly.
