fruit drop
Hard boiled sweet
Fruit drop refers to the natural or premature falling of fruit from a tree before it fully ripens, often caused by environmental stress, poor pollination, or the tree shedding excess fruit it cannot support.
Orchardists monitor fruit drop to gauge crop health and yields.
The term also names a type of hard candy, typically fruit-flavored and shaped like small drops or ovals, popular in British confectionery.
The apple trees had significant fruit drop after the late frost.
