Are there fruit trees which should not be ringed with a knife to
stimulate flowering/fruiting? I've heard a lot about it with apples, but
i wonder about apricots peaches, cherries, etc? Also have pawpaws and
Che fruit... Thanks.

I know in California, girdling is a very common practice with apricots to increase fruit size. Common with seedless grape vines as well.
