The tree will drop these fruits which will never mature. Additionally some flowers may have been inadequately pollinated due to rain or other reasons and the resulting fruit from these blossoms will have brown centers and an inability to grow to maturity. Trees may drop fruit several times as a result of weather fluctuations and other factors, but this is a perfectly natural and necessary occurrence. (See page 243 of my new organic gardening book for a full discussion.) June Drop may occur any time between early May and the end of June, but usually occurs in Southern California in the first week of June. This event happens every year and is called “June Drop”.
As a result, the tree will always drop some of the fruit. Peach trees and some other deciduous fruit trees tend to set many more buds and begin growing as much as twice the amount of fruit that the tree can support.
