I predict that most of the fruit will either rot, or will be eaten by vermin. And I don’t mean the 2-legged kind.
In the city I live in there are already thousands of fruit and nut trees. No one harvests them. Well, except me and one or two other resourceful preppers.
Just a couple weeks ago mom helped me pick 2 grocery bags of apples from a stand of trees that grows just around the corner. In previous summers I’ve gotten black raspberries, hazelnuts, hickory nuts, black walnuts, plums, grapes, black cherries, elderberries, and more, all from public lands. When I was a kid the first “wild food” I ate was from a mulberry tree at the edge of the park near my house.
People who see me picking think I’m crazy.
mulberries.......mmmmmmmmmmmmm, my favorite
For every one of you (us) that might make good use of such a “plan” there would be hundreds who would watch the fruit drop and rot and bemoan the fact that no one delivered it to them in a reuseable box or bag. The “feed a man a fish...” story holds.
And thanks for mentioning your mulberry tree. I used to have one across the back fence where I grew up! Pretty good....
