We know that many trees that live very well do not provide much fruit. What is the fruit tree for? The tree does not bring fruit so that we can eat or take advantage of it. The fruit bears seed and the tree that emerges from that seed will allow from now on also its own caste trees, so that its genetic richness has a future; that its lineage will not be lost. We entered between us and took away the fruits. Well, trees that live very well grow and grow, and the fruit they bring is scarce or null. In fact, they live so well, they resist the lineage very well, and if in the future they have to give fruit, they will be big and strong. It's natural. We do the same: the one who lives well has no children or one will have a maximum of two. Those who live badly will have many children. We should not go too far to find this trend in our lineages.
Hence the violence against trees. We cannot bring those who think they live better than us. And you have to cook it. What has not been done to them throughout history! Put in steel punctures, tie the waist very closely with strong chains or laces, cut the skin and open the wounds, scare, hit the branches to clubs, disguise… It is creating stress in the last black. It is about the person who lives well crumbling and crashing, so that their lifestyle is questioned and tilted towards fruticulture. In that ancient Egyptian civilization, the skin of the Sikomoro pians (Ficus sycomorus) was already cut and cracked to stimulate fruit donation. Currently, this technique of stress is still widely used. Thirst or hunger for fertilizer are accepted techniques with few renovations.
But there are worse ones. Until very recently it was very popular for the walnut (Juglans regia) to stretch the hand on the trunk and cut four or five times the pair that was captured to the ground. I recall that at a conference I listened to Bartolomé Egurrola, from the dwarf Adorriaga de Barinaga, the vicissitudes of this work that he explained to us: half centimeter cuts must be made on the waning moon of May, from top to bottom. Then the trunk spreads a lot. Of course, you have to somehow close the wounds and create the scar. This gives the feeling of thickening and leaves the tree unreservedly sunk. If you then have water and are helped with the fertilizer, you will soon give fruit…
It's the same as pruning. Pruning has no other purpose than flushing the plant. That every year they give fruit and have fewer units but more galley, etc. Once stressed, you have to help: heal wounds, give a proper fertilizer, etc.
One day, as with animals, this treatment of plants will be considered a crime. Now comes the criminal era of pruning. What do we have to see! I'm already stressing. You? Do you live in stress? In our society, stress is more common than bread. They want us to bear some fruit. Create and give money, market.
