This whole Shinju/Chakra Fruit/Ten-Tails business just keeps getting more and more convoluted. So now we have:

Original manga: The God Tree grew on Earth thousands of years ago and bore its fruit every thousand years. It is the source of all chakra, which nobody else had until Hagoromo’s time. Kaguya ate the fruit, physically merged with the tree, and became Ten-Tails in order to fight her sons.

Anime: The God Tree arrived on Earth as a seed a little over a thousand years ago (during Gamamaru’s lifetime). Kaguya arrived later and ate the fruit, becoming the first on Earth to have chakra (even though senjutsu already existed somehow). Later on she battled her sons herself, causing the God Tree to transform into the Ten-Tails to assist her. When Kaguya was defeated, the Ten-Tails/God Tree rotted away.

Boruto manga: The Ōtsutsuki create Ten-Tails (plural) through unknown means. They send one to a planet, where it becomes a God Tree and sucks out all of the chakra that the planet already has to create a fruit. Then the Ōtsutsuki show up in pairs on the planet sometime later to harvest it before moving on to the next planet.

I don’t even know how the wiki is supposed to document this stuff at this point. It’s literally three different narratives, and that’s not even getting into the whole moon retcon.
