Ripened Fruit

The fruit is a reference to Jesus.

Also linked to the fruit is the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil both trees located in the Garden of Eden

I suppose the main idea that informed this phrase come from John 15:1

One of the ideas that informed this phrase was the song 'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday. And the poem 'Strange Fruit' by Seamus Heaney.
