Actually I looked up the real story of Johnny Appleseed and he was more about making hard cider and selling land. 🙃

I'd be worried about someone taking all the fruit from all the trees then selling it.

    Too many trees to harvest them all. People won’t buy it when they can pick their own for free. If people see you taking ALL of the fruit, not just what you can use, they will stop you.

    I underestimate tweakers not being able to sell fruit that people won’t buy?

    I underestimate tweakers not being beat up when other people see them trying to take all the fruit?

    No, not being able to steal all of the fruit.

    In times like these when federal agents are murdering people in the streets for filming them, it's almost comforting to come into threads like these and see people still having the world's stupidest debate about fruit trees planted on public land.

    There's an issue with Wild Ramps. Very very difficult to grow in a garden to that point that no one does it. So if you want it, you have to harvest from the wild and the places they grow is limited for the same reason they're difficult to garden.

    Foragers that find a patch growing either keep the spot a secret and harvest responsibility or it gets shared and over harvested to the point of destroying the patch.

    Ramps aren't the same thing as a fruit tree, but I would be worried about randos breaking branches trying to harvest the fruits. You need to pick trees and shrubs that are resistant to that. Raspberry bushes have thorns, so maybe that?
