fructuous

adj

1. (rare)fruitful

   “1589, Richard Hakluyt, The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation ... and there is a fulle fair vale and a fructuouse, and there is a fair cytee and a gode, that men clepen Neople.”

   “As fruits of hotter countries, transearthed in colder climates, have vigour enough in themselves to be fructuous according to their nature: but, that they are hindered by the chilling nips of the air, and the soil, wherein they are planted.”
