App maps local trees for free, fresh fruit in your community

Reported byThe Cool Down ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Falling Fruit, a website and app used for over a decade, maps publicly accessible edible plants in cities and towns worldwide, helping people find free local produce and reduce reliance on packaged, transported grocery fruit while addressing food waste from unharvested fruit.

Worth noting

The tool identifies available resources but success depends on user awareness, willingness to forage responsibly, and local harvesting permissions.
