On behalf of the usuals I’ll jump and object to the ugly trees. This land be far better used for a car park!

Where is the business benefits study?

Unless of course it is to be used for car parking, in which case none necessary.

And someone has to point out the dangers of climbing the trees to put the stickers on the fruit.

Hee, hee, hee…evil!

Got in before him, but dungfungus still managed to come up with “european wasp plague”. 😉

What a lovely idea. I am someone who picks ‘feral’ fruit and bottles it, also makes jams and sauces from it, as well as eating the fruit fresh and cooking the fruit in pies, etc. Last year for the first time I also bottled grape juice. I have many shelves in my pantry lined with jars and bottles. I have now planted over twenty trees, bushes and vines, so I will have a closer to hand source of fruit.
To those who worry about the fallen fruit, if there are any left over to fall, this is no different to the streets planted with flowering fruit trees now. The fruit that is left on those after people like me have picked what we can use, falls to the ground and doesn’t appear to cause a problem.

Have they planned for the need to pick up fruit off the ground – a legal pest-control requirement for owners of fruit trees? Who is going to take responsibility?

The European wasp plagues in Canberra love fallen fruit.

Such a positive soul…

I doubt much of the fruit or nut harvest will have time to lurk around on the ground. Some voracious, chook-owning, foragers in Lyneham.

Treasury car park ^-^

Its a good idea. Hope some other parts of the community could do likewise.
