According to Jesus, every branch of tree that bear fruit, He would prune.

Branch in this context refers to

Answer Details
In this context, the branch referred to by Jesus is metaphorical and represents a believer or follower of Him. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus frequently used agricultural metaphors to describe the relationship between God and His people, with Himself often being the vine or the tree and believers being the branches. In John 15:5, Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Therefore, the branches that bear fruit represent believers who have a deep relationship with Jesus and are producing good works or "fruit." By saying that He would prune every branch that bears fruit, Jesus is indicating that He will discipline and refine His followers to make them even more fruitful and effective in their ministry.
