eight
though traditionally discussed as nine attributes of the fruit of the spirit, the original greek term translated as "fruit" is singular. aquinas explained, "consequently fruit is mentioned there in the singular, on account of its being generically one, though divided into many species which are spoken of as so many fruits." augustine's commentary on galatians 5:25-26 says, "the apostle had no intention of teaching us how many [either , or fruits of the spirit] there are; but to show how the former should be avoided, and the latter sought after."

fruit of the holy spirit
the fruits of species in the genus "bursera" are small, drupe-like capsules, each with a single-seed. in "b. microphylla", the fruits develop rapidly and ripen gradually, a few at a time, and in some species many fruits remain on the trees as they begin to flower the following summer. birds appear to be primarily responsible for seed dispersal in "bursera". gray vireos and ash- throated flycatchers feed heavily on the ripe fruits of "b. microphylla" in the puerto lobos region of sonora, mexico during the winter months. the winter range of the gray vireo in sonora closely matches the distribution of bursera microphylla. birds do not appear to eat the unripe fruit. rodents sometimes gather fruits and seeds of "bursera". ants have been observed carrying away seeds of "b. microphylla". the exfoliating papery bark of many of the trivalvate species may serve to attract the attention of birds and other animals from a distance as it rustles in the breeze (rzedowski and kruse 1979).
