Morphology

round-fruited = round + fruited (transparent) = round + fruit + ed

The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'round' + 'fruited' (itself 'fruit' + '-ed'), so the meaning 'bearing round fruit' follows directly.

Etymology

Round-fruited joins round (meaning 'circular') and fruited from fruit (meaning 'fruit'), so it means 'having round fruit'.
