My brother took it upon himself to hack a bunch of branches off one of our Mullberry trees, it took 5 years for it to start producing berries again. It does make considerably more berries now, and there are a ton of branches. There are also like 5-6 new trees popping up near it, shot up from the roots of the one that got hacked (Edit: figured this out when I tried to relocate them). I think if they left alternating portions of those trees alone for a few years, they would see a massive resurgence.

@@mohdhafidz6268 I understand the need outweighs the risk, but a market that cannot sustain itself will die eventually. If nothing can be done, so be it, they need to start looking for something to replace it, before it dies. If they find another source it could save that market, as well as create more opportunity. I am sure it is easier said than done, and they likely spend all day looking for more ways to make income.

In my theory, I suggest the opposite. What I understand in working with some other crops, induced stress such as tapping trees should create response from the plant to produce more flower that afterwards produces seeds for it to ensure survival of its progeny.

You'd have to rotate them for years at a time, sadly. Trees don't have a heart to pump their blood, so it takes a while for nutrients to travel all the way up to the tops and new branches just to produce seeds.

Here's a funny and interesting story about Alexander the Great and the precious frankincense... Once when the young prince was offering sacrifice, with would-be royal lavishness he scooped up two whole fistfuls of incense to cast on the altar-fire. This brought down a stinging rebuke on his head from his tutor. "When you've conquered the spice-bearing regions" Leonidas said, with ... elaborate sarcasm... "you can throw away all the incense you like. Till then, don't waste it." Years later, Alexander captured Gaza, the main spice entrepot for the whole Middle East. As always, he sent presents home to his mother and his sister. But this time there was one for Leonidas as well. A consignment of no less than eighteen tons of frankincense and myrrh was delivered to the old man, in remembrance of the hope with which that teacher had inspired his boyhood, together with an admonition... "not to be parsimonious towards the gods".
