Answer :

Fruit trees will normally drop excess fruit.  If the tree can't bear all the fruit on the tree it sheds them.  To allow for correct growth of all the fruit each individual fruit should be a fist's width from the next piece of fruit.  If you have "twins"-two peaches right next to each other on the branch, remove one and let the other grow to it's maximum size.
