What is green harvesting?

Explanation:
Green harvesting is thinning the crop while the grapes are still developing in the growing season, to reduce yield and help the remaining fruit ripen more fully. Removing a second crop during summer fits this idea exactly: it involves taking off fruit that would form a later crop so the vine concentrates its energy on the main harvest, improving quality. The other options describe actions—harvesting mature grapes, winter pruning, or removing the first crop in spring—that are not thinning of developing fruit during the growing season and thus not green harvesting.
