There is a very good chance that your tree will set fruit properly next
year. When I planted my Peach tree this year, the advise I got was to
remove all the blossoms the first year. Your tree needs the time to set
roots and it knows this so it sends less energy to the fruiting process.
As long as you are doing all the right things to your tree I wouldn't
worry about it.
