They are old enough. I would thin them to fruit every 4-6 inches. I don't know how large the trees are now but they should be able to support some fruit. <br /><br />I never get all mine thinned and just try to do what I can reach from the ground.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-19141277932319446952012-04-16T08:10:09.421-05:002012-04-16T08:10:09.421-05:00Beautiful hens, no wonder they love you!

We planted two to three year old trees three years ago and I still picked about half of the fruits off already (peaches, nectarines) and was wondering how long you strip fruit from your trees?Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-47161092998813876032012-04-15T14:49:57.035-05:002012-04-15T14:49:57.035-05:00We have gotten over 2" of rain from last nigh...We have gotten over 2" of rain from last night and today, Glenda.
