Getting mixed opinions on my Google-fu, some say to give the tree only a few spots to grow, others say to leave them. So what’s Lemmys opinion? Thin at all? If it’s clustered leave one per cluster?

I have two, they are mixed species trees from HD, there’s September ruby red, battleford and good land apples.

I can't do apples in my zone but with my dwarf eureka lemon tree I've learned to leave the most-developed little fruit or two in a cluster, pinching away the smallest ones to prevent crowding and avoid overburdening the branch.
