A question for those in the know: Should I pluck the young fruit before it matures?
I have a tree that's about 8-9ft tall that I set out 2 years ago when it was in a pot. I'm guessung it's probably a 5 year old tree. It has set about a dozen fruit but i don't know that the limbs are strong enough yet to hold the load. Last year it set 6-8 and I plucked them all when they were about the size of a gumball.
I would have thought is would still be focusing growth on roots...what to do?
