On the bottom of page 398 in Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma, there is a small footnote that really caught my eye: "*There's a Web site devoted to the principle of usufruct that offers maps to publicly accessible fruit trees in Los Angeles: fallenfruit.org"
It is an interesting concept in today's world of "my property, my trees" sentiment. People are generally not very friendly to gathering or what many consider "stealing".
However, I thought it was really fun and helpful, as I have seen many overhanging fruit tree branches with good food gone to waste.
Could be fun to go on a local fruit treasure hunt!
Check out the website!!

Here is a map of the fruit trees in Venice Beach:
