I have a fruit tree in my back yard. I don’t want it to get too attached to the soil, though, so I don’t give it any water or fertilizer. Instead of just pruning it, I cut off all its branches. Also, I let the weeds grow around it.  Then when the weeds take over and the tree shrivels up and dies, I call that “fruit”.

    By ridding itself of the tree like matter, the tree is actually closer to true “treeness,” right?
