fruitful

Yielding good outcomes

Fruitful means producing abundantly.

Originally about plants bearing fruit, it extends to anything yielding good results: a fruitful collaboration, fruitful negotiations.

A fruitful mind generates ideas; a fruitful discussion produces insights.

The opposite, fruitless, describes efforts that yield nothing.
