Smoking a cig and had an idea. Pretty sure we could get a lot more fruits per tree if we we selectively breed trees to minimize trunk/branches thickness and just focus on making fruit. Humans would provide the structural support, and plant basically becomes a vine. Photosynthesis MEV

βFunnyβ story, one year I was consulting with a small diversified farm which included fruit trees. I put together some fertility recommendations. Trees got charged up too much.. Their typical thinning work was a bit too much. At some point one of the growers slipped on a ladder and broke a bone. But yes in commercial apples everything has gone small trellised for speed of harvest, ease of spray, etc. Just need to be careful turning up the dial.

i expect we might find a way to use super-efficient photosynthesis for energy purposes faster than we unfold the orbit solar panels with laser delivery down to Earth

Yes that could happen definitely! What a good idea. Then we can have a diversity of fruits in one tree.

This is basically why we have grafting Get the hardiness / resilience of the rootstock and the fruitfulness of the scion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

doesnt sound very anti-fragile to me if a plant needs an espalier maybe it needs to leave room to better plants that can handle the ecosystem
