Greg everyone knows if a witch is made of wood - burn.
If they are beefy - hang.

Amos, traits that are seen as beautiful, sexy, accomplished etc. have an advantage of being reproduced, so, yeah what you said.

What if a tree made a fruit so delicious to every thing that encountered it, that the tree has accientally compromised its own reproduction. In the case of the Dodo or passenger pigeon there was not enough time to evolve a defense.

With enough time the tree may try to sour its fruit to ensure better reproduction. Or maybe make seeds that are not digestible.
Bananas come to mind. They are dependent on humans for mass reproduction.

Point being;
If Chevrolets grew on Trees they would be likely to multiply in the wild while Jaguar trees would require the synergy of a niche habitat of cool English dudes.
