Hi,
Did you know that some phytos are ok for non fruit bearing trees, but not for fruiting trees because the product will reach the fruit ... and make them improper to human consumption ...
So although the first idea is good, the result could be a drama by intoxicating the poor lad that would dare to eat the fruit.
In the wild, though, that could be an idea ... that I've been thinking of ... One day perhaps ...
The problem with fruit bearing trees is that people would break the branches to reach the fruits... and thus destroying the tree.
