This, and we need to reincorporate female trees in urban areas to reduce the rampant pollen pollution caused by exclusively using male trees 🤧

The cleanup cost from the fruit is what’s prohibitive about that, leaving the fruit isn’t an option since it makes the sidewalks unusable from the mess, it rots and creates mold spores, pests, rodents, etc, they all thrive.

Theres a very good argument to why they shouldn’t introduce females everywhere.

And how’s the males supposed to know if they are pollinating something or not for that matter? It would be less trees making pollen, but there will still be pollen.

Also, letting the homeless and working class forage for the fruit would be way too egalitarian and compassionate. Totally unacceptable!

Free food that drops out of the trees? Get the fuck outta here.
