Trees which bear fruit often have some branches low enough for us to reach without much effort. This fruit may perhaps not be as ripe or attractive as the fruit higher up, but there is usually more of it and it is easier to gather. This gives us the popular expression 'pick the low-hanging fruit', which generally means selecting the easiest targets which require the least amount of effort.
