Has anyone had any experience with the hormones for making fruit trees drop their flowers and not produce fruit?

These PGR's are crop thinning agents, if windows are hit properly they will reduce yeild.

Hey John,
re Florel,
So I've heard, and I hope so.
I just sold a $880 spray job on 80 flowering plum that tend to produce fruit, very unwanted at the 300 unit apt complex. Plus, I recommended it on a 40 foot tall pear as alternative to removal (pears all over condo driveway) Funny, I had "topped" 20 feet off that monster 8-10 years ago, but the current client didnt know it was us that did it. Big pear in tight spot, my removal bid was $675. Interesting that I came upon another opportunity to sell/ try Florel so soon!!
We removed an even larger pear, but better located for work, a couple years ago for ~$500, it had 3 16-20 inch trunks and went up 55-60 feet! My crew did it while I was off in nirvana (ski country), I think it was worth a lot more than $500.
