There are only two ways of producing "value". You either extract resources from the planet or you use labor to enhance those resources. The value is in the problems solved by the finished product.

Capitalism requires that capital is invested in the manner which produces the most profit. Thus infinite growth.

There is not an infinite amount of resources or labor. The fruit tree extracts nutrients from the soil and requires water to be added.
