Detailed explanation-1: -Thinning has been defined as a felling made in an immature crop or stand so as primarily to accelerate diameter increment but also, by suitable selection, to improve the average form of the trees that remain.
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.
