I'm thinking about fruit trees and bushes specifically. If you've ever gone apple picking you see how many apples are on the ground. Domesticated fruit trees are bred and grafted to be highly prolific, and you'll have a lot more fruit dropped than you'd think.

Plus you'll have animals going into the trees to eat the fruit. Commercial berry farmers have to cover their bushes and trees with nets to prevent birds from picking them clean. (And then producing very colorful art on outdoor surfaces.)

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but I don't think people have entirely thought it through.

this is already bog standard here in sweden and the only real problem is fucking MOOSE coming into people's gardens to eat fruit, any other animals are too small for anyone to be bothered by them.

fallen fruit just isn't a problem in the real world, it's fine.

I lack confidence that my fellow Americans won't make it a problem. Here people cut down fruit trees because birds shit on their cars.
