I always figure I have this tree and there's always some green fruit that's not ready to pick or blossoms that are ready to flower; there are always some ready to drop off too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
I think that if you shake the tree, you ought to be around when the fruit falls to pick it up.
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Sometimes, as is the case of peach and plum trees, which are often dwarfed, the plants are thrown into a flowering states, and then, as they flower freely year after year, they have little inclination to make vigorous growth.
I am not disposed to complain that I have planted and others have gathered the fruits.
No one can reap the fruit before planting the trees.
One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.
Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch.
Too late for fruit, too soon for flowers.
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
