Grows on Trees/Playing With

Basic Trope: Items grow like fruit on trees.

• Played Straight: A tree grows wads of cash instead of fruit clusters.
• Exaggerated:
  • Every leaf is a dollar bill.
  • Everything in existence grows on trees (literally)
• Inverted: The tree produces nothing out of the ordinary in terms of leaves, flowers, or fruit.
• Justified: A Wizard Did It
• Subverted:
  • Money doesn't literally grow on trees...
  • Or, this tree doesn't produce anything unusual.
• Double Subverted:
  • But the paper it's made from comes from trees.
  • But that's because it's out of season.
  • Or, another tree does.
• Deconstructed: You Fail Economics Forever; if money literally did grow on trees, it would have very little worth, thus driving up costs.
• Reconstructed: Society in this setting is a hippie Mary Suetopia anyway, so there's no need for money anyway; people do favors for one another out of the goodness of their hearts, not in hopes of getting cash in return.
• Lampshaded: "Money doesn't grow on...nevermind."
• Averted:
  • Nothing unusual grows on trees.
  • No trees in this setting.
• Enforced:
• Invoked: Someone makes a wish for infinite money when they find a genie's lamp and get three wishes.
• Defied: The genie says that won't be possible because of the impact it would have on the economy at large.
• Discussed: "I wish I could just pick wads of cash from a money tree in Real Life!"
• Conversed: "Yeah, but think of the inflation!"
• Played For Laughs: Almost always is.
• Played For Drama: With all this worthless cash lying around, the economy (and thus society) spirals into a depression.
