"King Fruit" - why do we remove it?
Hi folks,
I was always taught to thin out fruit during the late spring/early summer, in order to get fewer but better fruits.
But why do we have to take out the King fruit, the central one? I'm talking particularly about apples here.
Logically (yes, I'm old enough now to rebel against what I've been taught!) shouldn't that be the one that stays?
Any theories, anyone?
