Some cities planting public fruit trees
A recent USA Today article caught my attention: More urbanites have their pick of fresh fruit:
Fruit-picking opportunities like that are becoming more common, as volunteers in cities including Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and Madison, Wis., mobilize behind a goal of planting fruit trees on public land in city parks and neighborhoods.
Free fruit also is available for picking in season on public land in Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Minneapolis and New York, according to neighborhoodfruit.com, a site that helps people track down available fruit.
Interesting idea, the idea of growing public fruit is appealing.

we've got lots of ginko trees. In Korea old ladies collect the nuts. some thoughts here,

I just returned from southern Italy, where there are lemon trees everywhere in the public realm. Not sure if it was ok to pick them or not. I personally just received my own fruit trees in the mail for my backyard.
This is a great idea.
The drawback is that if it doesn't get picked in time, it falls on the streets and sidewalks, and you have gooey, sticky, overripe fruit bits everywhere.
It really depends on where the trees get planted. I think most would be smart enough to not use fruit trees as street trees. It wouldn't make sense for the reasons you stated and many more. However, if they were in a park setting, where the fruit falls onto lawn or another ground cover, it would probably be ok. They, whoever that may be, would need to adhere to a regimented cleanup routine, based on sanitary issues.
I do like this idea.
we have no fruit on that website. i do hope that will change.
