Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Fruit trees had been espaliered around the sides, and wires zigzagged from the top of one wall to the top of another. Hungry, wisteria branches had woven themselves around to form a sort of canopy. Against the southern wall, an ancient and knobbled tree was growing. Cassandra went closer. It was the apple tree, she realized, the one whose bough had reached over the wall. She lifted her hand to touch one of the golden fruit. The tree was about sixteen feet high and shaped like the Japanese bonsai plant Nell had given Cassandra for her twelfth birthday.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kate Morton" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kate-morton/it-was-a-garden-a-walled-garden-overgrown-but-with-beautiful-bones/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f44/kate-morton-805_apple-tree_it-was-a-garden-a-walled-garden-overgrow_2892429.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f44/kate-morton-805_apple-tree_it-was-a-garden-a-walled-garden-overgrow_2892429.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f44/kate-morton-805_apple-tree_it-was-a-garden-a-walled-garden-overgrow_2892429.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It was a garden, a walled garden.
