In Finland there is this law called jokamiehenoikeudet. Roughly translates into "everymans rights"
Everymans rights allow everyone to enjoy nature in regardless of who owns the land as long as it is done responsibly and without causing harm or disturbance. These rights apply to all people, including visitors.
You are allowed to: Walk, ski, and cycle freely in forests, fields, and other natural areas (as long as you do not damage crops or do it on somebodys yard). Camp temporarily on uncultivated land. Pick wild berries, mushrooms, and flowers (aslong as they are not protected.) Swim, row, and use waterways freely.
But you cant: Cause damage to nature, animals, or property. Disturb residents or invade privacy. Light open fires without the landowner’s permission. Drive motor vehicles off-road without permission. Harm protected species or take branches, bark, or timber from living trees.
So atleast in Finland if the fruit tree is not on anybodys yard or planted for a business use, you can eat the fruit and its not a crime.
It's all of Northern Europe, not Finland especially.
It's called "the right to roam" in English.

All Nordics, Scotland, and even some more central European countries like Switzerland and Czech Republic have variations of it.
And it is not the reason we don't plant fruit trees in cities. The reason we don't plant fruit trees in cities is theyre messy as fuck.
Just think of how often you see buckets of apples labeled "omenoita ilmaseksi!" in the fall. Because people want to clean up their yards of all the rotten apples. Imagine that on every sidewalk.
