Default fruit growth suppression

Citrus fruit growth elimination / suppression / retardation.


Introduce the Medfly or other similar aggressor.

Call Ag Extension.

Don't prune, take out entire branches at the trunk.

Set fire to the property. Collect insurance. Plant
pot (for medical purposes only).

Donate the crop to a local charity or food bank
(they pick and take).

Send cash for the real answer.


Mark (would strategically-placed horizontal incisions
into the cambium layer retard blossoming -- the
old 1000-cuts party game suitable for all ages?
Try it on some single test branches. Ask this
question at a local fruit tree operation ... if they
do grafting ... ought to know if this'd work :-)
