budding of fruit trees

Stupid question for some but as Im reading what I can about fruit trees and listening to what people are telling me Im thinking that just because a fruit tree has a high chill hour requirement and those requirements are not met dosent necessarily mean that I wont see fruit, from what Im understanding it may just mean that I do not see an abundance of fruit or very little to none.

Is this true?

Id also like to know if a fruit tree is planted in a less than ideal location ( not enough chill hours ) does the tree suffer at all in health? Im guessing that a fruit tree was put on this earth to produce fruit, thats its main purpose and does the tree have more susceptibility to disease/sickness if its not able to fulfill that?

certain thing naturally grow well in certain places. theres a reason why for example cherries do well in places like Washington and Michigan and apples also grow well in the north and almonds in California and peaches in Georgia and South Carolina and citrus in Florida, high bush blueberries in New Jersey and the latest rabbit eye varieties not far from you in huge plantings in places like floral city

Citrus and muscadine grapes seem to be truly reliable here. Citrus is in big trouble though. Thanks

This morning I noticed my peach trees flowering, these are the trees waay out of their fruiting zone. I still have them in pots and planned to ground them this weekend.

If the tree flowers does that mean a fruit is next? Im wondering why they would even be flowering this time of year with the cooler weather approaching?

Maybe it would be a good idea to remove the flowers? Is this what pinching off means?
