Fruitlet Thinning Improves Juice Quality in Seven High-tannin Cider Cultivars

HortScience, 2023
Over 3 years (2016–18), tree productivity, biennial bearing, return bloom, and fruit quality were evaluated for seven high-tannin cider apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars. Five treatments were evaluated on each of the seven cultivars: hand-thinned

EFFECTS OF CROP LOAD AND HARVEST ON APPLE RIPENING [PDF]

HortScience, 1990
Studies were conducted in 1989 to determine the effects of crop load and percent harvested on apple ripening. Twenty-seven `Golden Delicious' trees were selected and partitioned into 9 blocks. The crop load on one tree in each block was adjusted to 3.4, 6.9, or 15.0 fruit cm -1 trunk ...

Managing Crop Load in European Pear (Pyrus communis L.)—A Review

, 2021
Reducing levels of fruit set is often desirable in many European pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars. With a negative linear relationship between crop load and fruit size, crop load management early in the season minimises wastage of tree carbohydrate ...
