Unless you have some very specific reason for removing them early (i.e. squirrels stealing them) your fruit will be much better for staying on the tree until it's ripe. And if you're lucky enough to have an apricot tree, enjoy the pleasure of picking and eating tree ripened fruit rather than the horrible unripe stuff the rest of us have to buy from supermarkets.
