This study presents a lightweight multimodal vision-language framework that adapts TinyCLIP for fine-grained fruitlet anatomy classification in complex orchard environments. A dataset of 600 high-resolution RGB images collected from Scilate and Scifresh apple orchards was converted into 224 x 224 image patches and annotated for three anatomical classes. Domain-specific language prompts, such as ``a photo of a class,'' were used to guide multimodal alignment between orchard imagery and horticultural structures. A sliding-window inference strategy with a stride of 112 pixels aggregates patch-level predictions into spatial heatmaps, enabling interpretable whole-image localization of fruitlet components relevant to robotic thinning. Patch-level evaluation on an NVIDIA T4 GPU achieved F1-scores of 0.95 for calyx, 0.98 for fruitlet, and 0.85 for peduncle, with a macro-F1 score of 0.93. Deployment-oriented optimization using ONNX and TensorRT enabled efficient inference on NVIDIA Jetson hardware, preserved accuracy under INT8 quantization, and supported model sizes of approximately 127-137 MB with millisecond-level patch inference. These results demonstrate that lightweight vision-language models can provide interpretable and edge-deployable perception for automated fruitlet analysis and future robotic thinning systems.
