I have created a list of the fastest fruit-bearing trees below arranged in order-
1)PEACH TREE
One of the fastest growing fruit trees is the Peach tree. The tree can grow a height of 15 feet within a year and will be able to provide come delicious peach too.
2)COCONUT TREE
Coconut is one of the fruit trees which can grow pretty fast and rapidly. It favors hot and warm climate and are most common fruit trees grown in home, especially in Asian countries where almost every house has coconut trees lined up.
3)APPLE TREE
Apple is also one of the fast growing fruit trees and is suitable to be grown in garden. Within a period of two years, the apple tree will start producing fruits.
4)PEAR TREE
Pear trees can easily be grown in the garden and are fast growing fruit trees which may not only have a good height within a short period of time but also will be able to produce fruit.
5)APRICOT TREE
If provided with water, air and sunlight, then apricot tree can grow well and fast in your garden.
These are some of the fastest fruit bearing trees. Hope this answer helped you.If it did please do upvote and share the answer. It keeps me going and helps me produce more quality answers for the community. Have a nice one!
Do you see this cotton seed?
Why it is designed so? A seed in center and a long white stuff arround. Because its purpose is to float in the air and move far away. Why it needs to move far away?
When a seed falls from the parent tree near the parent tree, chances of survival is less because there is already a tree which is consuming space, water, miniral and sunlight.

So the cotton pants make sure the seeds go far away to improve the survival chances. This is just one method. Not all plants use this method.
Some plants generate fruits so that animals eat them. Some seeds do not get digest and they come out in excreta and the excreta acts as manure.
Most of the seeds are bitter and animals usually throw or spit them out and that exactly what the plants want.
Now think!!
Does it mean plants know that animal exists? Yes they know. Does that mean plants know what kind of taste interests animals and make fruits? Yes, it takes thousands of years of evolution but yes.
Why don't all mongeos taste the same? Because they are evolving. Does it mean plants are intelligent? Yes, I bet my home. They are much more smart than we actually think.
Believe it or not there is a thing called plant behaviour.
Trees are very poorly adapted for moving around. Most of the time they spend their entire lives in the same spot, but they are exceptionally good at building complex sugars and structural carbohydrates out of thin air and water.
The apple, for example, is naturally bitter. It is avoided by most animals when fresh (humans have altered them to be sweet). in the wild the apple will drop from the tree, then roll away (hence a round shape) and rot. While insects would et the decayign flesh, this would prepare the soil and add fertilizer to the ground, by which point the seeds usually would have dropped out. Animals would then eat the fermented fruit (for the alcohol content), leaving the seed to germinate. Should the seeds be eaten they can also pass through and be fertilized by the faeces of the animal
- To tempt an animal to eat and distribute the seeds. This is the obvious answer. Sweet fruits usually fill this role. Such fruits usually have very durable seedsthat can survive the digestive process. however other fruits can be addictive, or hav eother desirable traits to encourage animals to distribute them.
The Durian is a fruit with a tough outside that cna not easily be broken, yet it also has a highly addictive taste. This strong smell also alerts animals… this means that a monkey or other animal will not eat it directly at its site of dropping as this will be difficult and risk others taking it. Rather it will take the fruit and steal it to a safe place ot break open to eat. This means the seeds are widely dispersed.
- To protect the seeds. This predominately applies to nuts, but also applies to some fleshy fruits. A fruit can either be really hard and thus inedible (eg, a gum nut), or highly toxic and thus inedibel (eg. Xamia nut)
For reference: a xamia nut is a hard seed covered in a red fleshy fruit. It is from the Xamia palm in western Australia. The flesh is extremelly toxic. indigenous people had to engage in a 6–9 month process to prepare the fruit to eat, primarily to drive out the toxin. DO NOT EAT THEM.
Plants are highly adaptable and ther eis no single reason why they have a fruit.
Birds, mammals and reptiles are rather adept at moving around, but generally suck at making anything out of thin air and water other than urea and heat.
If a tree hides some of its embryonic offspring inside a snack bite with some nice sugars, then birds, mammals or reptiles may do the tree a solid and carry its babies over incomprehensibly long distances (from a tree’s perspective) before depositing them in a little pile of carbon compost.
If there is a reason trees give fruits, it cannot come from something that's merely an abstract of human thinking.
Biology is the human study of life. It's not a living entity that persists of and by itself. To suggest it can have reasons is foolishness. There ARE, however, reasons trees provide fruit, but those reasons are tied to their very existence—for which they themselves are not responsible, and to which reason does not belong.
Let's face it: this practice of attributing reason to mental abstractions is taken up only to avoid acknowledging the logically inescapable fact that something (rather, Someone) with a mind is behind every reason and purpose, including every purpose cited in every answer here where the writer identifies a purpose for fruits on trees.
Now, I fully agree with many of the purposes named for why fruits on trees are advantageous to the sustained existence of both the trees themselves and other living creatures. But purpose is not some substance that permeates the atmosphere or empty space. Neither is it a mindless, non-directed force. Purpose requires volition and intent.
It absolutely requires a mind and intelligence! I defy anyone to explain how it could be otherwise.
Some intelligent but woefully misguided and motivated people even like to attribute those purposes to evolution. They use such terms as “evolutionary advantage,” and “evolutionary purpose.” All this while contending that “science” itself is merely a method—a tool devised and used by humans—that has no purposes of its own (with which I agree, by the way).
How is it then that people who understand there’s no such entity called science that can have purposes don’t understand the same applies to other abstract human creations such as evolution and biology? Mental constructs cannot have reasons.
But there’s obviously reason behind how nature works—and intelligent people know it! It’s evident in the way they describe biological processes and systems. Symbiosis,[1] for example, is a clear indication that something—or someone—intended the relationships between dissimilar organisms that depend on each other’s existence for their mutual survival. The existence of such creatures cannot be sensibly explained by evolution.
In fact, the ecology of the entire planet shows an interdependence between the global environment and every organism on the planet that is nothing short of a grand design. And only an intelligent fool refuses to see or acknowledge that design.
Now, this feed will fill up with answers listing the specific reasons—in scientific terms—that trees provide fruits. But it’s not that complicated. The biggest, simplest clue is found in the meanings of the term “fruit” itself.
fruit, noun[2]
- any product of plant growth useful to humans or animals.
- the developed ovary of a seed plant with its contents and accessory parts, as the pea pod, nut, tomato, or pineapple.
- the edible part of a plant developed from a flower, with any accessory tissues, as the peach, mulberry, or banana.
- the spores and accessory organs of ferns, mosses, fungi, algae, or lichen.
- anything produced or accruing; product, result, or effect; return or profit: the fruits of one's labors.
These definitions indicate that fruit is something deliberately produced for the express benefit of something or someone else—for either something living or the purpose of some living, rational being. Trees give fruit to feed something else living (and to reproduce itself, of course—but not by its own conscious volition, at least, in the minds of dumb animals). And even instinct is embedded within species not at their own behest.
Now, do you suppose there is some rational entity named Biology, Science, or Evolution that has its own mind whose purpose this is? And that there is purpose is impossible for a thinking—and honest—person to miss. Such a one can only pretend the purpose is not there.
And why would someone want to do that? Simple. It’s because all things having a purpose means there is a rational Being who is not only infinitely superior to all of humanity but also sovereign over us. This I need not “prove” to anyone. Neither will I strive with anyone over it. My mind is not greatly superior to anyone else’s, and I can see it clearly. You disagree? See to that for yourself. I have no dispute with you.

They make fruit as bait to trick animals into helping them spread across the landscape. Trees know that animals “will work for food”.
