How much fruit does the Argan tree yield per year?
One tree, you mean?

And what about its fruits? Are they picked directly from the tree or are these collected from the ground?
No, normally directly from the tree.
Ah, they are picked from the tree?
Yes.
You don’t wait until they fall on the ground?
Excuse me?
