heat and drought will cause apples to drop - I'm sure you've had plenty of
heat - insect and disease damage will also cause fruit to fall - do the apples
have good seeds? - low seed count from the freeze will cause small apples that
don't mature - how's the foliage condition? green and healthy or
disease/insect/mite damaged and shedding leaves?
Harralson is a northern apple that ripens in a short, cool season - not
well suited to southern IN - its degree day requirements have been met, and here
it is 100*F - lots of things working against you this season - -
