“…Curiously, this anomalous behavior simulated that of subtropical fruit perennial species, such as the Loquat tree ( Eriobotrya japonica ) and other perennial fruit species, e.g. citrus trees [ 44 , 45 ]. The latter usually rest in the summer, bloom in the autumn, and proceed to the fruit set, development and ripening stage in the winter and early spring, which concludes just before the emergence of new vegetative growth.…”

“…However, hand thinning is an expensive, labour-intensive practice, and the skilled workforce needed to perform this operation is increasingly difficult to find [ 30 , 31 ]. The purpose of flower/fruitlet thinning in fruit trees is dual: (i) to reduce fruit load, improve sink-source balance and decrease competition among fruits, thus obtaining bigger fruits with improved fruit-quality parameters at harvest, and (ii) to avoid biennial bearing by removing the source of floral induction inhibition (i.e., the fruits), especially in terms of inhibitory signals, such as the GAs [ 32 , 33 ].…”
