fruiter

One growing apples

A fruiter is a tree or plant that produces fruit, or a ship used for transporting fruit.

The term appears most often in compound forms like early fruiter or heavy fruiter to describe when or how abundantly a plant bears.

In British usage, fruiter can also mean a fruit seller or dealer, though this sense is now old-fashioned.
