It had by now reached much beyond even that status to appear in our minds as a place sentient, actively helping these once forlorn and homeless sailors, presenting us with fructuous soil to grow our food, bountifully adding its own edible offerings, its waters supplying us with an abundance of fish. —— William Brinkley in 'Last Ship'

You're going to have a good time during your visit to Acheh. If you enjoy fruits, Acheh probably has the best papaya of just about anywhere in the world. Not only that, Acheh produces rice, tobacco, sugar, paper and a wealth of other crops including coffee. Acheh is a fructuous, productive country rich in natural resources including gas and oil. That is why the Dutch declared war against the Achenese in 1873 and did everything they could to possess the region, ...but in the end due to the resistance of the Achenese people couldn't achieve their vicious, self-serving goal. —— Editor

Theory does not provide us worthy marching orders for a fructuous future, for theory in itself tells us nothing about how and when it is applicable. —— Sheila McNamee and Kenneth J. Gergen in 'Relational Responsibility'

Any one who harmonises his efforts and endeavours with the laws of God will find his efforts bear results and will be fructuous. The universal Law for the water is that it flows downwards, and a farmer who makes his field in an incline will find his fields well watered and blooming. The one, who tills his field on a height, the water will not reach it. This is true for the forces of nature; any person who tries to harness the forces of nature will find his efforts to be fructuous. —— Ghulam Ahmad Parwez, The Man Behind The Tolu-e-Islam Movement

Did you know? (Merriam-Webster)

Most people enjoy a good piece of fruit, and it seems that this was also true in ages past. In fact, the connection of fruit with "enjoyment" was so strong in ancient Rome that Latin used the same word, "fructus," to mean both "fruit" and "enjoyment" or "use." A rich crop of English derivatives grew from that root, including "fructuous," "fructose" (a sugar found in fruits), "fruition" ("the state of bearing fruit"), "usufruct" (the right to use or enjoy something), and even "fruit" itself. "Fructuous" comes from the Middle French adjective "fructueux" and the Latin adjective "fructuosus," both ultimately derived from "fructus."
