What's going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here. We're back with Rob Greenfield and today we are talking about a project that he's doing called Community Fruit Trees and what's interesting is I a long time ago I found a website called

falling fruit.org and then I typed my address in and lo and behold there were plenty of fruit trees around my area that, you know, maybe I could pick from them, maybe I couldn't depending on where they were located, but certainly it opened my eyes to the amount of urban fruit, I guess you would call it, that is in my area.

And it sounds like Rob has kind of used that tool and obviously has done quite a bit of planting as well.

So Rob, can you tell me a little bit about what's going on with

community fruit trees? Sure. Yeah so the idea of well so so far we've planted a

110 community fruit trees in Orlando that's where I'm starting this project off.

And the idea of a community fruit tree is pretty simple.

It's a community tree that anyone can access, that anyone can share the fruit from.

So we plant in public places, it could be in front yards,

the median between the sidewalk and the street, businesses where public has access to like in the front,

public schools, churchyards, churches have so much space, a lot of them. They make a really great resource,

school, city parks. These are some of the places that we planted community fruit trees and that make a great place.

And so the other thing is that we typically put up a sign that says something like I'm a community fruit tree enjoying my fruit and the link to the website.

And then the website has about each community fruit trees.

So that way they can, and then there's details about each community fruit tree,

like when it was planted and when the fruit would usually be ripe and you know of

course what type of tree it is and yeah so the idea is really just to make free, make food freely available and abundant in our communities and and

demonetize food in some ways.

Yeah, I mean, so how did you, how did you get the ability I guess to plant these trees in these locations.

Did you have to go through any sort of process or was it just something you kind of did,

guerrilla?

Yeah, well, so definitely one thing that I've learned is that I don't think guerrilla
