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!
Ideally the homeless wouldn’t exist in this scenario, and sure, the public can grab the bottom 8’? The public really can’t be trusted to safely use ladders, so that options right out.
I’m all for it, but realistically it’s not a feasible solution? It’s to costly, wheter it be to collect it and give to public safely, or to provide ladders and medical care for the people who inevitably fall.
News to me too… And I think it might be wrong but I don’t know enough to say with confidence.
how I thought it works is that trees have male and female parts, but a single tree can have both parts. And some trees can self-pollinate.
My uneducated guess is that it depends on the species, some are sexed and some are hermaphrodite. That’s how it goes in the animal kingdom.

While we’re at it, cover parking lots in solar panels.
From what I’ve heard (and I DO NOT understand it, at all) this is cost prohibitive and impractical.
It’s like a lot of things in life. It depends and it can be complicated.
Upfront costs for infrastructure besides the panels themselves is expensive and in places where electricity is already cheap companies won’t bother.
You also have to conduct tests to ensure that the grid and transformers can handle more power, and if they can’t then you have more infrastructure that needs upgrades.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t do this. We really need to in the long run but it isn’t something we can simply snap our fingers and do instantly.
Also, a lot of the unprofitability comes from VC culture in my opinion. The individuals at the top of businesses often times won’t stick around with the business long enough to start see the savings from solar energy.
