Speaking of Asians... I did see one case where publicly planted fruit trees - female gingko trees- had become a nuisance as the fruit from gingko smells like vomit and the whole park would smell liked it had been discovered by a horde of drunks after a hotdog eating contest. But fortunately for the trees, some local Korean wandering the park one day discovered them before the orders came to cut the trees dwon, and called in his family and friends to harvest and clean the fruit for the tasty nuts inside, and ever since the park manager simply calls the Koreans at harvest time and they glean the trees, no one the wiser. Trees saved. Nostrils unoffended. Koreans happily muching on gourmet nuts. Win win.

Yeah, some folks will know what to do (even with female Ginkos) but, on the whole, this fruit and nut deal is probably a bad idea for the numerous reasons cited above including spraying, pruning and the costs of maintaining the trees for the low and isolated yields only a few will enjoy.

Besides, don’t we already have plenty of fruits and nuts in this country as it is?
