reapable

Fit for cutting

Reapable describes something that can be harvested or gathered.

Crops are reapable when mature enough to cut.

The word extends to abstract gains: reapable benefits, reapable rewards.

Anything that can be collected after effort or investment—profits, consequences, advantages—may be called reapable.
