Need help with pruning nectarin tree

General Fruit Growing

I am looking for someone to prune my fruit trees on zone 10b - clairemont . Any recommendation?
My nectarine tree is loaded and about to break a branch. I pruned it myself last year but need heavy pruning this winter

If the branches are overloaded thin the fruit. It’s not too late. Second option is to support the limbs. Third is to shorten the limbs right now. Next winter you can prune to make the limbs shorter and stiffer.

zone 10, I take it the peaches are fairly large now. Make some picked green peaches. Otherwise your going to loose branches and the whole crop.
