How to Thin Fruit

Improve the harvest from your fruit trees by thinning the crop each spring. This video teaches you the simple steps to increase fruit size, reduce alternate bearing, improve fruit quality and reduce branch breakage. We cover the 5 Ws of spring fruit tree thinning and apply them to peaches, apricots, apriums, nectarines, plums, pluots, apples and pears. Suitable for gardeners of all levels, novice to advanced.

Thank you for the information. I have a dwarf apricot with too many fruits.
