Tipping Seedlings

[Figology]

In my area I’m coming across tons of seedlings with no fruit. Some of them are close to 10 feet tall. I have a feeling most of them are males. Literally seen at least 100 of them and only found 2-3 females with fruit.

Will tipping them speed up fruit production?

So I didn't originally respond to this because I have no idea what a lot of this is. What is "Tipping?" because I'm imagining it's similar to cow tipping, which is a very fun thing that stupid people do around here. But for some reason I don't think that's it. So that leads me to ask is it similar to "pinching"? Pinching will cause lateral growth, and could cause the tree to fruit, yes. More sunlight / pruning away shading branches / moving obstacles between the tree and the southern & western sun... these should all help.

Yes, tipping is the same as "pinching." I don’t why I didn’t say pinching. I’m trying to get them to fruit because most of them don’t have any and they’re fairly tall.

Go for it!
