Some folks I know are raising money to build an app for a worldwide map of fruit trees. Their database exists already and is growing, and they're just raising money to fund mobile development and eventually an SMS interface. They list privately-owned trees on their map, so you could contact the owner and get in touch about swapping: http://www.barnraiser.us/projects/fallingfruit-org-mobilize-the-urban-harvest http://www.barnraiser.us/projects/fallingfruit-org-mobilize-...
There was also http://neighborhoodfruit.com/ http://neighborhoodfruit.com/ at one point, but it's not looking too good these days.
And I started a non-profit here in Atlanta 6 years ago called Concrete Jungle (www.concrete-jungle.org) where we pick fruit from random people's fruit trees (99.9999% of homeowners want nothing to do with their fruit trees) and donate it to local homeless shelters/food banks. There is lots and lots of food everywhere once you start looking for it.
