Thanks. That means:

It should be in past tense because "has grown" is a present perfect tense which you use to relate a past to the present, but the previous sentences have no present tenses.
"It has grown a fruit on that tree" means something else refered to by "it" caused the tree to grow a fruit. I think what you meant is it is the tree (not something else that) grew the fruit.
