Trees yes, fruit trees no. Not only is urban farming terribly inefficient, and the fact that fruit trees need constant upkeep and a ton of times to produce any fruit at all, but they also attract animals. It's a much better use of resources to fund more local supermarkets to address food deserts, and plant more regular urban trees separate.

Agreed. And anything other than trees for food...fruit bushes, etc. are much better bang for buck. Fruit trees get diseases easily

Oh yeah, where the food gets trucked in from halfway across the planet and costs too much because of corporations inflating prices. Sounds like a great thing for the poor, good job, I'm surprised nobody thought of this already! I definitely don't want my neighborhood dirtied up with animals and poor people picking apples.
