Have Fruit Picker Will Pick


I was enchanted by the number of fruit trees in Concord when we moved there. I started ringing doorbells asking permission to pick fruit. We also planted our own fruit trees. Our neighbors' trees include apricot, orange, plum, pear, peach, apple, lemon and persimmon. A few times I've been turned down to pick. Most trees have way too much fruit and the owners are happy to share. Our family members have planted apricot, apple, peach, cherry, plum, pear, grapes and Japanese maple on our own property in addition to lemon and orange already there and have success with yields. I also planted a Chinese pistache, potato vine, etc.
