Fruit trees and necessity

1) Yes. It needs conditions to be met such as receiving enough water, nutrients, sunlight etc. I'm sure there are more fundamental conditions such as the fruit tree existing, reality existing, the rules of physics working a certain way, and so on.

2) It sounds like the same question, but worded a bit more naturally. So the answer is the same.

If my answers aren't appropriate because I've misinterpreted the language, then feel free to clarify how this is the case.

Thanks, Rob! You seem to have understood the language quite well.

It is such a simple question with an evident answer, that it might seem unusual that I ask it at all. Surprisingly, I've run into difficulties about this question in a different thread. I thought I'd post the question here to test if it is as controversial/contestable as it seems to be in the other thread.

While I wait for other responses: Would you say that it is evident (or at least, demonstrable) that certain conditions determine that fruit trees make fruit or not?
