The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.

@mkwadee Sorry, I understand it's a metaphor, but the fact is just false.
Beside the trees that grow slow but do not produce any fruit, such as gingko, in the fruit realm you have a lot of pretty nice fruit produced by fast growing trees such as papaya, pomegranate etc.

If you mean to say that in the same species, for example if you have 10 apple trees, the slow growing one will beat better fruit again, not true. If it's growing slow something is holding it down (bad genes, lack of water, lack of light...), and it will likely yield less.

@arteteco @mkwadee Ginkgo make fruit! It's just super stinky so people usually only plant male trees... <_<
Apparently the seed can be prepared to be nice though so it is eaten in some parts..

@cathal
Nah, Gingko don't make any fruit, it's just a fleshy shell called sarcotesta, that's the part that stinks.

Fruits are basically the ovary of the flower enlarging to contain the seeds, it's a different structure
