Don't be afraid to thin your fruit trees!
Too much fruit uses up all the tree’s stored energy, which depletes the tree and makes it more susceptible to damage from disease, pests, and sunburn.
Reducing the fruit load of the tree by thinning can prevent limb breakage to branches that cannot support the weight of the fruit.
• Fruit should be thinned before it is an inch in diameter. Thin fruit as soon as possible after full bloom.
• Choose the largest fruits to retain on the branches.
• Remove fused or double fruit, as well as disfigured or damaged fruit.
• Larger fruit like nectarines and peaches should be pruned to about 5 inches apart.
• Thin smaller fruit such as plums and apricots to 2-4 inches apart.
• Apple clusters should be pruned to no more than 1-2 fruit per cluster.
