When I worked as a gardener/tree specialist if I'd have caught anyone doing this there'd have been a reckoning. Before anyone says trees can't feel pain and are not sentient, I'd say that's not the point (& I'd disagree ), if you err on the side of caution, that they may feel something..., sorry, it just ain't done.
It's interesting you say this. I may be wrong but it seems to be a fact that when humans are decimated by various ills they tend to reproduce far more heavily as a response. I don't know the biology behind it but I have an apple tree which after a number of years I was not getting many apples at all. The remedy I found was to cut a ring in the bark all the way round and cover, stressing the tree no end. Ever since I have had a bumper crop. There does seem to be hidden links there somewhere.
