My neighbor across the street is a lifetime biologist and also used to have a landscape chemical development business. He'd go around to peoples yards and put certain chemicals in their grass, plants, gardens, trees to make them flourish. His yard is always the most pristine and lush in the neighborhood.
He also told me about hitting a fruit tree that isn't producing with a baseball bat.
Did it with an apple and apricot tree and strange enough the next year we had more fruit coming off the branches than we knew what to do with.
