June Drop

Yes I know the drop more often happens in July, but this year nothing seems to have fallen from my apple trees, am I alone?

So have just been out to thin out somewhat, but its difficult to discard a number of very healthy miniature apples.

I would leave June Drop to nature. If the apples have not dropped I would leave them be.

Bumping this thread, still no 'june' drop, have spent time thinning the crop, seems a crime to pull off apples , but there are just too many of them this year.
Also have got a touch of wooly aphid , so wonderful sight of yours truly attacking the tree with a tooth brush .

I had June drop at the end of May.

Thinning is important to prevent biannual fruiting and branch breakages. It should also result in larger fruit with an overall higher yield of flesh.
