Neighborhood Fruit is a Google map mashup that shows citizens of San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles (as well as a growing list of other cities) where to find fruit growing on public land. In other words, fruit you can forage for yourself at no cost!
Currently, the map for San Francisco shows mostly loquats and plums, but anyone can register and add more entries to the database. Know where apple or pear trees are, or blackberry bushes? Put it on the map.
Most fruit grown in the city and in backyards goes to waste, while we buy fruit that comes from farms that are hundreds of miles from our homes - farms that require large amounts of water to produce the fruit, and gasoline to bring the fruit to us. This doesn't make sense. Let's change that.

Not too sure about the tree in Hunter's Point...
Ooooh, nifty! I really hope Google will enable personal maps in the next iPhone rev...
There are lots of loquat trees lining the sidewalks of neighborhoods surrounding downtown San Antonio. I always wondered how they came to be so widespread around there.
I am amused someone bothered to list blackberry bushes in the Seattle area. They are everywhere. If you can't find them you are not looking.
Yeah, the few little trees in Hunters Point and South Basin and the few trees in the Marina and Sea Cliff area make an interesting commentary (for those unfamiliar with the areas, Hunters Point is low-income and Sea Cliff is high income).
Mulberry Trees all over Houston and an enthusiastic husband and 3 year old, mean that my freezer is FULL of mulberries. We're really proud of ourselves - in spite of the odd looks we got in the park.
