Experiments to determine whether vigorously growing trees can be forced into fruiting by curbing growth at the right stage and at the correct time are in demand. The influence of fruit load on fruit size and future production is presently being investigated. Other aspects of tree management (controlling vigorous growth, stimulating fruit set and preventing fruit drop) are being planned for the forthcoming season. Provisional results are presented and discussed
