Germany’s GDP is the apples harvested this year. Nvidia’s market cap is what investors think the entire orchard will produce over decades.

So really it should be Germany's "Fruit Pile" and Nvidia's "predicted orange production" over decades.

That refinement captures that Germany's GDP is more than one fruit, and a snapshot of this year. And Nvidia is more narrow (one fruit), and operating on a different time horizon.
