The study looked at how the way apples are arranged on a tree affects how many of them stay on until harvest. They found that apples in the main position on a branch stayed on the tree the most. Clusters with only one apple kept all of them, while clusters with five apples lost more. Apples from older branches were more likely to stay on the tree compared to those from younger branches. Overall, the position of the apple on the tree, the number of apples in a cluster, and the age of the branch all play a role in how many apples stay on the tree until harvest.
