I bought this 4.5'' redhaven peach tree and planted it about a month ago. It's got tons of baby peaches, but I'm not sure if it's mature enough to grow the fruit or if I should nip them all and let it grow for next year. How can I tell?

My fruit tree experience is limited to citrus. We strip fruit the first two years
It’s going to drop fruit regardless. You preferably want that energy channelled into tree growth.
You’re supposed to…….but we planted an apple this year and it has maybe four apples growing on it. I’m letting it go. I want to try them. I’m a bad tree owner lol
It’ll deal with that itself, peach trees are smart.
Look up instructions for pruning – peach trees only fruit on new growth so every spring you’ll want to prune to ensure you get a good crop the following year. Good luck!
