I have two ornamental plum trees that are male and female, planted together. They produce flowers and fruit.

I spend hours every year removing the new plum trees from my flower beds. The plums fall off, the seeds sprout and I have these tenacious little trees everywhere.

I may cut down the original trees.

I have one question on the open pollinated seeds and ban on killing insects and slugs: PROVE IT!

Several years ago, I planted some tomato plants that came from heirloom seeds. I also planted my usual Better Boys. The heirlooms all came down w/2 forms of blight, one airborne, one in the ground. I got a meager harvest from them. The tomatoes were poor keepers and I cannot say they were tastier. The hybrids did fine. The hybrids had some ground-borne blight that took off the lower leaves, but seemed immune to the other disease. They produced, the fruit was fine.

In a country the size of the US with many of us having rural property, I challenge any county to afford the plant police to check that I am not killing insects or planting open pollinated seeds. Can I sue them if I get stung by a wasp or contract a disease from a tick or mosquito? And what will they do about naturally-occurring propagation from already existing plants? I purposely plant flowers that reseed themselves.
