fruitage

Orchard's seasonal bounty

Fruitage is the product of fruit-bearing plants collectively, or the condition of bearing fruit.

The word extends figuratively to mean results or consequences of effort: The fruitage of years of research finally appeared in print.

Literary and somewhat old-fashioned, it carries a sense of abundance or harvest that plain "fruit" lacks.
