Perhaps the constituents of nature do not reproduce in order to ensure the survival of their genes, but rather to feed those who are in a different place on the food chain with their offspring.
The tree will live, whether it produces fruit or not. However, the animals which depend on the tree's fruit (offspring) may not.
It is peculiar, however, that, having produced their offspring, animals vary in their protection of the offspring. Some animals eat their young, some give their lives to protect them.
