At the moment, a player has to prune a fruit tree in order to harvest its fruit, however, I believe that a different method should be implemented. Perhaps, give the leaves of fruit trees the same mechanics as berry bushes, however, instead of their growth being determined by their proximity to farmland, make it so that fruits will only regrow if they are in close enough proximity to wood so that they don't decay. To attain saplings, however, one would still have to break leaf blocks. Also, unlike the berry bushes, I think it would be best if broken fruit tree leaves do not drop the bare version of themselves.

For certain trees that don't have fruit as part of their leaves (dates and bananas), make it so that the block the said fruit grow on gradually regenerate a new fruit in the old one's position upon the old one being harvested (I understand that this would probably require the implementation of a seperate wood block, one for each of these kinds of trees, that sprouts fruit in the spaces adjacent to it).

I would be happy to see whether or not any of you share my opinions.
