Actually I thought the "King Fruit" was Michael Jackson, but not sure if
taking him out would produce fewer but "better" fruits.

I couldn't resist.

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?
