Guys, as I understand it, biennial fruit bearing is the result of heavy
fruit crops. The next year nothing. The second year, heavy. I've heard some
hints that if you thin the fruit when you have a heavy crop, you will get
fruit the following year. Thinning should be done when fruit is the size
of a nickel or so. I've heard this with reference to apple crops, but I'd
guess it's applicable to other fruits too. Margaret L
