The concept of a tree that propagates by tornado is hilarious, but somehow not unbelievable.

Houses get dispersed by tornadoes, why not fruit?
That gives me a funny science fiction idea. Once we have self-building, self-repairing devices and infrastructure. Nanobots? Whatever. A tornado goes through destroying houses and in the aftermath cornfields are littered with little growing houses seeded from the debris.
Lovely idea for a Pixar short movie :)
