fruit-bearing
Producing edible crops
Fruit-bearing describes plants or trees that produce fruit: a fruit-bearing orchard, fruit-bearing shrubs.
The term extends to anything that yields results or rewards: fruit-bearing investments, a fruit-bearing partnership.
In biblical and literary contexts, fruit-bearing often carries moral weight—productive effort versus barrenness: By their fruits ye shall know them.
