Fruit Thinning

The only thing harder than waiting years for fruit trees to, well come to fruition is to thin the fruit. I'm making a effort to leave 6" of space between each piece of fruit on our peach, apricot, almond and apple trees. If we get any fruit I'd rather have it be juicy and large. This should also avoid the situation where branches brake off from too much fruit on any single limb. Next up will be pomegranate and jujube.

 

Any tips from other orchard owners?
