Folks who grow asparagus weed whack it flat in order to get it to sprout all at the same time. Dunno about pulling the leaves off to shock a tree into fruiting, though. The stone fruits that we have drop their leaves anyway, so no need to pull them off.
Check out Dave Wilson Nursery's webpage as well as Bay Laurel Nursery's webpage for loads of information on low chill fruit trees.
For peaches, there is a tart "mountain" peach that sets a lot of fruit. It has a pointy end to the fruit, that seems to be one of the identifiers. Otherwise, Florida Prince does the best of the low chill peach varieties we have.
