I just went outside to look at them, with the intention of doing some pruning. But at least half (maybe even 75%) of the set fruit is above the top of the cages. It kills me to top them. Will doing so encourage more growth down low or anything like that?

I'm mostly concerned with the two cherry plants. The Cherokee Purple has about a dozen fruit, all set relatively low. Quite frankly, if they all ripen and no more fruit are set, it will be a successful season for that plant given the conditions. The Early Girl is now up to 3 set fruit.

Here are some additional pictures from the inside:
