You think of orchard owners, but that's not the image it conjures for me. I remember the neighborhood of my childhood. The fruit trees there were 90% decoration. Usually someone would pick one (1) fruit whenever they felt like getting one. Most of the fruits would never get picked at all. The ground would be full of overripe and rotting fruit, until someone could be bothered to clean it up.
