Mangoes, coconuts, oranges and bananas are fruits.
Fruit is a word that not only means edible but anything from a supply. Example usage:
He is the fruit of my loins.
Collins licenses 'tree husbandry' as well as 'forest management' for forestry:
forestry [ˈfɒrɪstrɪ] n
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Forestry) the science of planting and caring for trees
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Forestry) the planting and management of forests
After examining other definitions, I'm sure the term forestry can be extended to include the obtaining of products from trees.
We can then use the term forestry products to cover all relevant products, whether simply obtained (fruits, nuts), obtained with more art (latex, timber) or made from more basic products (plywood, tyres) - no matter how primitive or sophisticated the harvesting / refining / manufacturing processes that are involved.
