I am pretty sure a tree produces good fruit and rotten fruit alike.

A tree that produces money fruit.....is a good tree.
Provided only I know it's location. Otherwise it would have to be deemed a bad tree.

A good tree knows when to come over and offer me some shade in the summer and picks up its own toys it "leaves" around. | |

wasps, greenfly, fungi, moths, butterflies, birds, bears, us?
so the question likely has a certain anthropomorphic perspective.
so the answer from a scientific point of view is ..... there is no such thing as good or bad in nature?

( tree is used as a metaphor/smile thing to man)
