I had thought that our recent high winds might have taken care of the thinning of the heavily-loaded Aprium..... but didn't. Rats! I hate to thin things... even baby plants in the veggie garden.... seems so wrong to waste potental food. But I know it needs to be done; so today I gritted my teeth and went out and took off about 1/3 of the baby fruits. (At least it is only one tree.)
