One of the reasons you thin apples? It’s not just because you want fewer but bigger and better tasting ones; that’s a given.
It’s because if you don’t, they grow in clusters, and at every point where apples touch it allows what you don’t want to weave a web between the two of them, from which you end up with a worm that burrows on in when it’s ready.
Oh.
Huh.
Well, that’s definitely incentive to get that done.
