(6,119 posts)35. out here in MN
there are apple orchards.. and there has been big movement to plant different fruit and nut tress in the backyards.. but also there are groups in the twin cities that lists people who have trees that need help taking care of them, with people who want to help take care of trees.. they glean the trees and take the left over fruit to food shelters.. it helps the trees, the owner of the tree and those who get to work on them.
I'm from Central CA so I grew up with fruit trees all around.. and then I came here to MN and had to pay .50 for a lemon.. crazy.
but several years a go I noticed plum trees and met someone who just planted a peach tree. It produced 3 fruit last year.
there are many berry plants.
