About This Quote
The saying, "A shrub that bears fruit deserves to be watered more than a tree that does not," is about the value of something that produces something useful. If a plant can produce food or provide other benefit for the world, it deserves to be watered more than another plant that doesn't. This is seen in how people treat plants differently based on whether they are edible or not. Also, this saying is used to indicate the importance of being nice to people. When someone treats other people better than they treat plants, they are being selfish and should be punished accordingly.
