Detailed explanation-1: -In forestry, thinning is the selective removal of trees, primarily undertaken to improve the growth rate or health of the remaining trees. Overcrowded trees are under competitive stress from their neighbors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Removal of flowers or young fruit (thinning) is done to permit the remaining fruits to grow more rapidly and to prevent development of such a large crop that the plant is unable to flower and set a commercial crop the following year.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thinning is cutting in an immature stand to: Biologically, thinning influences successional trends by favoring the tallest, best-formed trees over those that are overtopped, crooked, forked, or otherwise undesirable. Individual residual tree response will be increased diameter and volume growth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thinning reduces density of live branches in a tree. The entire canopy can be thinned or just a portion. Thinning increases light penetration and air movement through the canopy and reduces weight.
