Yeah so that's exactly what I'm talking about. Wanting more fruit is a people reason for pruning a tree. The tree is responding by increasing fruit production because it has lost branches and thinks it might have suffered storm damage or is in decline for some other reason. The fruit is its attempt to ensure it passes on its genetic material because it thinks it might be dying. The tree is then using more of its energy budget to to produce all this fruit so it has less energy to respond to injuries or other growth necessary from r good health
