In response to Forcorrie1996
If the guy that gives oranges can be made to only give one, so can a tree. Variables can be used for a lot of different things, as long as you get the hang of variable scope.

obj/tree
    var
        fruit = 4
        max_fruit = 4 // set the trees max fruit to 4

    proc/regrow()
        if(src.fruit < src.max_fruit) // check that the fruit is under the max
            src.fruit ++
    verb/shake()
        set src in oview(1)
        if(!fruit)
            usr << "This tree has no fruit to spare!"
        else
            if(prob(100))
                new /obj/orange (loc)
                src.fruit -- //remove one fruit
                spawn(3000) // wait 5 minutes
                    src.regrow()


Something like that could work, you'll have to excuse it I'm currently at work..

On the subject of random loot in general, weighted lists are a good, simple way to make some things drop more common than others.
