Legal Definitions - fructus pendentes

FRUCTUS PENDENTES

Fructus pendentes is a Latin term that means "hanging fruits." It refers to fruits that are still attached to the plant or tree that produced them and have not yet been harvested or picked.

• Apples hanging from the branches of an apple tree
• Grapes still attached to the vine
• Oranges hanging from the branches of an orange tree

These examples illustrate the definition of fructus pendentes because they are all fruits that are still connected to the plant or tree that produced them. They have not yet been harvested or picked, and are therefore considered hanging fruits.
