A fantasy trope, mostly confined to children's fantasy, where trees don't just grow fruit, they grow anything you could want. Sometimes it's food, and sometimes it's something like shoes, or hammers, or whatever the author wants.
The idea of a money tree is also a great fantasy, even though you'd need a pretty big Artistic License in Economics to believe that buying things with such money is any more sustainable or ethical than counterfeiting.
Compare Level Ate, for more useful landscaping, and Solid Gold Poop for another money-for-nothing scenario as well as Body to Jewel for when it's not trees, but the (human) body which produces jewelry specifically. See also Mining for Cookies, for the subterranean equivalent of this trope.
If a plant is a potential source of anything you might want, but its parts still need to be processed before they're usable, it's a Multipurpose Monocultured Crop.

The Simpsons:
In one episode, Homer falls asleep in church and dreams that he and Marge are Adam and Eve. One of the things available for their enjoyment in the Garden of Eden is the "porno bush", as well as another bush containing the more innocuous People magazine (featuring just them, since they're the only people around).
Another episode has Homer and Grandpa return to their old family farm while touring the state as Snake Oil Salesmen. Homer decides to go and see if a hotdog tree he planted has grown.
On "Treehouse of Horror" short has Homer travel back in time and accidentally alter history by changing some small thing in the distant past. He spends the majority of the episode repeatedly going back and changing different things, creating different Alternate Timelines while trying to get back to his own. He eventually ends up in a seemingly perfect timeline: his family is filthy rich, his kids are well-behaved, and Patty and Selma have recently died. Homer seems very content to stay in this timeline, until he finds out that donuts were apparently never invented, causing him to run screaming back to his time machine. Right after he leaves, donuts start falling from the sky, and Marge groans in annoyance, "Darn, it's raining again".

Darkwing Duck: In one episode, Bushroot developed a money tree that produced counterfeit bills. While it provided him with endless cash, the real purpose of the bills were that they were like seeds that would turn into vines when placed into safes containing real money; the vines would then carry said safes back to the supervillain.note Bushroot admits he didn't want to do it that way, but the bills produced by his tree didn't last long.

Full Frontal Nerdity: In one story arc, the guys have gotten their hands on a blender that combines anything put into it — and not in the normal way. Nelson and Frank test it out with such things as the "banana-steak" and the "habanero-peach", but Lewis goes straight to putting money and acorns into the blender to get seeds for a money tree. (He also uses it to combine Red Bull and Miracle-Gro fertilizer, so he won't have to wait for his harvest.) Fortunately for the economy, Frank and Nelson manage to kill the trees by blending septic tank root-killer with articles about Bitcoin and inflation, thermite, and Lewis' unpaid credit card bills.

The Last Continent takes this trope to extremes. A god of evolution causes trees and bushes to sprout with anything the wizards who land on the island desire, up to and including cigarettes.

SCP Foundation:
SCP-038, the Everything Tree, grows copies of anything that touches its bark. It's capable of growing even fully formed and living clones of organisms that touch it, although these clones age quickly and only live a couple of weeks.
Another one is a tree that grows fruit identical to human corpses hanging by the neck, which were at first mistaken for suicides.
SCP-392 is a tree that grows human heads, similar to the Popol Vuh example above.
SCP-417, the Plague Tree, has fruits that contain insects whose bite causes horrific diseases.
SCP-1147, the Adaptive Plum Tree, whose seeds grow into a tree made of whatever substance they're planted in. For example, planting one in charcoal made a burnt-looking tree that grew highly flammable plums, while planting one in wax made a wax tree with plum-shaped scented candles for fruit.
SCP-6949 is a species of tree that grows US dollar bills when pollinated.

ThunderCats: One of the primary benefits of taking on the Ro-Bear Berbils as allies was that it also gave the Thundercats access to their massive orchard of trees. The fruits of said trees were pretty much any food one could think of, from vegetables, to meat, to bread, and even the (in)famous Candy Fruits.

Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree is a Little Golden Book based on Sesame Street. In this book, a witch owns a cookie tree, and casts a spell on it so that it will only give cookies to people who will share them to keep Cookie Monster from eating its cookies. The spell works, but a little too well, as now the tree won't give the witch any cookies, either. At the end of the book, Cookie and the witch form an alliance and agree to share the cookies with each other (of course, Cookie gets carried away and ends up eating all of the cookies anyway).

Land of Oz:
In Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and co. come upon lunch-box and dinner-pail trees in the country of Ev, with napkins for leaves, each separate food item including cakes and ham sandwiches having its own stem inside.
In Tik-Tok of Oz, the inhabitants of Oogaboo are named after the crops they grow on their orchard trees — Jo Apple, Jo Candy, Jo Stockings, Jo Files, etc. Jo Files also has a storybook tree, where the stories are "dull and confusing" if they're picked too soon, but if you wait until they're ripe, they're excellent. In the same book, a prisoner in the Nome King's domain survives by eating off what he calls "Hotel Trees", which grow coconut-looking things you can unscrew to reveal they contain a three-course dinner, from soup to nuts.

FarmVille: The game started out with a selection of fairly regular fruit trees, but the proliferation of special trees for various events ended up taking this to some pretty wild extremes. Not only is there a money tree, there are also bubble gum trees, cookie trees, jewel trees, marshmallow trees, candy heart trees, paper lantern trees, rainbow trees (that is, not simply a multicolored tree, but a tree that grows tiny rainbows as fruit), galaxy trees (where the canopy is literally a tiny galaxy hovering over the branches, and the fruit seems to be stars) and countless others. If you can think of it, there's probably a tree that grows it.

The Order of the Stick: A sword tree shows up as a gag in a print-only bonus strip in the second book collection, No Cure for the Paladin Blues. Roy's sword was destroyed and he's stuck without a replacement because they sold the other magic swords they found in the dungeon. While in the forest, Roy is forced to use a non-magical greatclub due to lack of alternatives, complaining that "swords don't grow on trees" (unlike the club, which is just a stout branch he tore off a trunk). Naturally, the last panel of the page shows the group narrowly missing an encounter with "the world famous sword-growing tree."

Xanth uses it a lot as part of a general "fantastical flora" theme. Furs are grown on fur trees, shoes on shoe trees, pies on pie trees, etc. Many trees are hostile, though, so tread lightly.

In Evolution, the last descendants of man live five hundred million years from now in symbiosis with borametz-like trees (and symbiosis means that they're literally born of said trees) on the Mars-like, arid, and hot plains of Pangaea Ultima.

The Vorkosigan Saga novel Cetaganda, set on a planet where genetic engineering is a high art, has a tree that has kittens as its "fruit". They don't survive being "plucked", however, if not ripe yet. The man who plucked one (attracted by their sleeping mewing) thought they were somehow glued to the tree and failed to look before effectively ripping one in half.

Dungeons & Dragons: One of the potential methods of dragon reproduction discussed in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons is that there is a magical tree, somewhere in the Underdark or a primeval wilderness, that grows dragon eggs like fruit. Dragons in a family mood must track this tree down and talk its warden into giving them an egg.

The Sims:
Money trees can be grown in several games.
The Sims 2 Money Trees are potted house plants that must be watered regularly or will wither away. They're the cheapest aspiration reward and a Boring, but Practical source of money that can net 1200 Simoleons per day in ideal circumstances.
The Sims 3 lets you grow cheese, egg, burger and steak plants, and also has the omni-plant, which can grow almost anything. There are also real Money Trees which are actual trees this time and not house plants. They must be taken care off though, or else they will wither and explode, releasing bills which must be paid.
The Sims 4 has Trash Plants, which are the byproduct of letting garbage sit out in the open for too long. Once they reach full maturity, they can be harvested for Trash Fruit, which is used to grow — you guessed it — more Trash Plants.

In plenty The Legend of Zelda games you can find bomb flowers growing on the ground. they are flowers whose fruit are bombs that light up the moment you pick them up. Gorons take these fruits and process them to create normal bombs.

World Tree (RPG): As a consequence of the game's world being a single giant tree, anything not directly botanical in nature — such as wood and amber — can be very hard to come by. The creator gods mitigated this issue by creating numerous plants that naturally grow such materials, such as by depositing metal nuggets, small rocks or gemstones, salt, and similar materials in their leaves, stems, thorns, fruit and so on.

In The Magician's Nephew, the kids plant a piece of toffee and it grows into a toffee tree (overnight!), although it only produces remarkably toffee-like fruit instead of actual toffee. They also manage to produce gold and silver trees out of dropped coins, as well as the much more famous iron bar that grows into a gaslamp-post. When Uncle Andrew realizes the implications of this effect, he starts talking about coming back with guns to take over Narnia and make a fortune turning scrap metal into battleships and train cars. Aslan later explains that his scheme wouldn't have worked, because the only reason Narnia was doing this was that it had been created only the previous day, and it still had a sort of echo of that power in it. Within a few days, the effects would fade and only regular seeds would produce trees.

In Animal Crossing:
Random items can appear in trees, as leaves are used to represent stored items and any fallen leaf can resolve into, say, a piece of furniture when picked up.
It's possible to grow a money tree by planting a bag of Bells with a golden shovel or in the hole dug in a spot where the ground is shining, which will grow crops of bags containing an amount of money equal to how much was buried.
The mechanics of this is changed in New Horizons. Each day, a glowing spot appears on the island. If dug up, it produces a bag of 1,000 bells. It goes away once filled in. But if you bury a bag of money in that spot, it becomes a sprout for a new money tree. Bags up to 10k will eventually bear similarly-sized bags of money in a set of three, though only once per money tree. Beyond a bag of 10,000 bells, the resulting fruit bags will randomize, becoming a bit of a gamble.

Minecraft:
In some Game Mods, this trope appears as crops rather than trees. IndustrialCraft and the Spiritual Successor to its crop system, Agricraft, provide various plants that can be mutated from others via crossbreeding and grow small amounts of mineable materials. The requirement is that these plants need to have a block of their respective ores below their soil, whether to grow them or to be obtained via mutation. Ore-producing plants and trees appear in several other mods, usually with similar requirements in terms of needing to be planted on stone, ore or mineral blocks or requiring lava to "water" them.
Another mod, Magical Crops, allows making similar plants, not limited by the ore block requirement but more expensive and limited by other traits, that are not limited to mineable resources. Other than the ore plants, there are mob plants, crops that can provide resources from mobs like beef, string and Wither Skeleton skulls. There are also four elemental plants, whose produce can be made into many different types of common resources like dirt, clay, cobblestone and snow, and the Nature plant, whose produce can be made into different plant matter items.

The mechanics of this is changed in New Horizons. Each day, a glowing spot appears on the island. If dug up, it produces a bag of 1,000 bells. It goes away once filled in. But if you bury a bag of money in that spot, it becomes a sprout for a new money tree. Bags up to 10k will eventually bear similarly-sized bags of money in a set of three, though only once per money tree. Beyond a bag of 10,000 bells, the resulting fruit bags will randomize, becoming a bit of a gamble.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games feature Gasha trees, which sprout from Gasha seeds you plant and their nuts bear various useful items.

Stone: The inhabitants of the planet Rain use leaves as currency. It rains all the time on Rain, so there is no danger of a deflationary forest-clearing project like in Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

In Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land, protagonist Haruto is utterly gobsmacked to find Magic Land's version of the Second Rider Nitoh fishing for squeeze-bottles of mayonnaise (which even flop in the bucket like fish). Nitoh's response is "Of course I am! What, does it grow on trees where you come from?", complete with a brief Imagine Spot.

Spore Creatures: The "Meat Trees Banana Beasts" cheat will replace all the fruits in trees with various meat items. Can also occur if you have the "Alternate Food" cheat enabled, which can results in things like donuts and waffles growing from trees as well.

Rimworld: The venerable "Vegetable Garden Project" Game Mod puts a sci-fi spin on this trope with the "Resource Plants" module, which are genetically engineered plants that (very, very slowly) leach the metal content out of the soil beneath them and compress it into a usable form. Useful as a late-game option when you've mined out all the easily accessible metal deposits on the map (at least in prior versions before the ability to send caravans to other tiles was added) but generally Awesome, but Impractical otherwise.

The Talking Parcel by Gerald Durrell: In the Magical Land of Mythologia, this is the default means of producing many common items: bottles and corks are each plucked off their own respective tree, for example. The main characters' guide finds the real-world version of a "cork tree" rather ridiculous by comparison.

The Smurfs (1981) has an episode where Gargamel's mother plants a money tree outside Greedy's house to test his avarice. Although the "money" it produces is actually a confectionery wrapped in golden paper called a "golden goodie", it has the effect of drawing the Smurfs to it and trading what they thought was personally valuable just to have a single piece of the money tree's candy.

Zekkyou Gakkyuu: In one story, a girl discovers that the source of a classmate's family's wealth is a bonsai tree that grows bills. She steals it for herself and her family uses it to live more prosperous lives, but then her father mysteriously vanishes. The girl discovers far too late that the tree gets nutrients by sucking people underground and eating them. Unfortunately, the tree has by that point eaten her classmate's family, her own parents, and herself.

A Mandrake the Magician story takes place in a country of botanists who developed plants for any — and I mean any — possible purpose. Just a few examples: fluorescent lamppost-like trees, self-cooking potatoes, steak bushes, nylon stocking plants, giant mushroom houses which grow complete with central heating and electrical wiring. The most far-fetched is probably the transport — miles-long trailing vines that grow at 40 MPH with passengers clinging to the leaves.

One Deadpool story had the Korean government use Wade's DNA to splice the powers of other mutants onto their own citizens in horrific experiments that eventually result in total organ failure. After liberating them, Deadpool takes them to Monster City, where they have a demonic tree that can grow replacement organs from their genetic samples on a daily basis.
