Just... Leave it? You don't have to destroy it. You can just... Not?

I don't see why it needs to be touched other than for the purposes of preventing people from getting free fruit. Nature will run its course with the trees either dying or becoming part of a new ecosystem once humans aren't maintaining it anymore.

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.
