They aren't completely ripe yet but the tree is so heavy with fruit that it's leaning really far and I'm worried about it.  I'm not an orchardist and I've not had this "problem" before.  Do I need to thin the fruit or stake the tree or just let it lean and expect that once they ripen and picking starts that it will right itself?
Thanks,
Joan

 
"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
