Sufficient Life


I wonder if start of fruiting on a tree is triggered by how much nutients it is gathering- that it just keeps growing til it starts runnng out of easily available food and water. The one that I treated that way was twice as big and leafy as the others I planted at the same time. It was a more aggressive grower. Then when it can't put all it's energy into outgrowing its neighbors because of reduced nutrients, it switches to mature reproduction. Juat a guess...............
