Petal fall has begun in earnest!

There are still plenty of blossoms for the bees to work (and they are). Blossoms can be pollinated for a time even after the petals fall. When there is no crop, leaves grow very rapidly because the nutlets are making no demand for the resources of the tree. So far the leaves are growing slowly which is a positive indicator that we may have a good crop.
