Screenshot of a small part of California, roughly half covered by orchards, the other half is barren wasteland

Odds are if you stop irrigation for a few weeks you just got a bunch of dead trees.

Yeah ok, do that then? The only reason to touch them is to prevent anyone else from using them. At least few people might consider digging a tree up for their home.

NO! If you want peaches you HAVE to buy them from me! It's the law!

Get one while they are ripping them out of the ground. Kind of difficult to unplant trees without heavy machinery anyway.

The only real humanitarian justification I can find for this is that a bunch of dead trees becomes a fire hazard. I'm guessing peach trees aren't native to the California desert and would likely dry out and become highly flammable within a few months.

I'm sure their reasoning is more along the lines of "my property" though

They want to plant something else
