Plants responsive to threats

Followers

My Alphonso Mango tree hasn't produced fruit very consistently since planting it about a decade ago. A friend who is an avid orchid grower shared his secret for getting his under performing orchids to bloom. He holds the orchid over his rubbish pile and advises it that it's next home will be in the trash if it doesn't bloom. I tried threatening my Mango tree because my wife advised me that a non fruiting fruit tree is useless. She wanted to remove it.

I see that my threatening has worked. Have you experienced a similar situation?
