Something is going on with my computer. I'll try this one more time. Sorry for all the emails. This topic is not about Captan and Diodine. It's only about thinning peaches. Here goes:
There is plenty written about distance and placement when hand thinning peaches, but I have a question about the size of different fruitlets. I've heard it claimed that the larger fruitlets on a shoot, will be larger at maturity than the smaller fruitlets on the same shoot. Is there any truth to that, or do the smaller fruitlets "catch up", after the shoot is thinned? In other words, when hand thinning should the smaller fruitlets be automatically discarded because they are small?
