Fruit thinning:
Apples and pears benefit from ‘fruit thinning’ in early July after the natural ‘June drop’ has finished. Reducing to two fruits per cluster will give better quality fruit and an increased overall weight.
Plum thinning is vital, as in some years the weight of fruit is so heavy that branches can break. You may need to remove some 75% of the fruitlets but do not be alarmed as the remaining fruit produces superb size and quality.
Peaches, nectarines and apricots allow a fruit every 15-20cm (6-8in) along the branches. Cherries seem to flower and fruit successfully without any interference.
