“”If they aren’t properly managed and present unexpected problems, well they just aren’t that hard to cut down and replace with more usual urban trees. They do have a higher upkeep cost, since they require regular pruning to keep them productive””

You nailed it. This is another example of government waste. Once the liberals find they actually have to work to harvest fruit and nut trees, the trees will be neglected and there will be a rat infestation until the trees are cut down.

I’m wondering what variety of orange tree they’re planning to plant in Vancouver, B.C. (See pic at site)

Rats? Hmmm. Free meat, fruit, and nuts!

Really, they are going to plant (and maintain) some sort of tree, why not something that could produce food? Have Boy Scouts or church/community groups pick trees for food pantries, whatever, but I'd bet some of it would be eaten, anyway--by humans.
