Apple thinning

Taken about a bucket of 3cm apples off the Ashmead's Kernal. It set about
1000 fruit and some branches were near the ground under the weight. Should
reduce "bitter pit" and "biennial bearing" Plan is that no developing
fruit should be within 10cm of any other. Think I've got about 1/4 of the
job done. Realise I'll need to get the step ladder out and reflect on the
expression "low hanging fruit"
