The remedy is often to deflower the tree before fruit sets in order to put all the growing strength into the trunk and limbs (or cane and branches if planting grapevines) This could merely be Heavenly Father's divine way of letting them learn good fruit farming.

Does understanding why the fruit was forbidden in this way add to the symbolic significance of it? Interesting Point Steve.
