No doubt, but look at the black and white thinking in this thread. We can't have fruit trees at all because they might interfere with sidewalks, or because city planners might get in a huff.

I'm not discounting the legitimate concerns of trafficability or zoning, but to write it off completely for these concerns is trash. If we can engineer a tailings dam and plan for 100 year floods that might ruin it, then we can figure out a way to permit fruit bearing trees in cities.
