Have you ever eaten an apple off a tree?

HAVE YOU EATEN CHIN NUTS?

Which reminds me to say that when I was young, my family used to be able to get free food from the counteyside.

Free apples, plums, walnuts, blackberries, all used to grow in public places, too bad people cannot plant these things ALL OVER THE PLACE to allow foraging.

I ama nut, who lives in a hut, I stole an apple off a tree, so what?

I planted wild plums on my property over 30 years ago . very tasty indeed and the birds like to nest in them and the rabbits like to lay under them .

Why do they say not to eat fruit (such as oranges) that's fallen from a tree? Just curious.

None of those people enjoying their hot pockets look like they live in a cellar either, some of them folks in the commercial are even female.

I ate some huckleberries right in the face of a punk ass griz in Grand Teton. He ate them out of my sheet the next day!

Pshaw I have done as such dozens of times. You ever eat mangoes straight from the tree? Totally mogs apples

ive eaten many apples off of many trees, apple scrumping was a favoured passtime of the kids when i was younger, although angry farmers and salt guns were also common back then so it could be a painfull experience.
As for fruit if it grows wild in the uk ive more than likely eaten it.
havent got a clue what you mean with the pen

There was a huge plum tree next door. Unfortunately they had two rabid killer dogs. But I risked life to scale the fence and dogs to gorge on plums. 1970s

yes, yakima valley apples.

Oranges yes no apples.

When I was in either the 5th or 6th grade me and a group of neighborhood kids would climb an apple tree in someone's yard and eat the fruit right off the tree.

We didn't know who lived there, but they never said anything to us.

Those were the best apples I've ever eaten.

lol! I remember looking out my window and seeing a kid in my apple tree, picking away and when I asked what he was doing he told me his mother sent him to get enough apples to make a kuchen.
How could I say no?

Only if they have been inspected by a USDA inspector.

Hunting for wild asparagus is fun.

When I was a kid, my grandpa parked a trailer inside his apple orchard and we were surrounded by apples.

Water cores . my favorite .

Apples didn't do well where i grew up. The apples had worms if you didn't spray them and the trees eventually died.
And it got just a tad too cold for citrus.

It was fairly easy to find huckle berries and wild grapes.
And wild honey was the food of the gods if you could find it in a place you could deal with.

The huckle berries have all but disappeared.
Factory farmed blueberries do well though
i would think they were related.

We had gooseberry bushes when I was growing up. Tart, but still pretty good.

Several times and with all honesty all over the world. I believe my favorite was coffee beans in Colombia. They tasted like sweet honey. Mind blowing for me.

We were so brainwashed. God Damn.

Plumbs.. that is something i grew up in worlds of.

Blight hit them starting back in the 70's.
I haven't seen any in years.

There were even different types.
Different trees had different flavors and sizes.
We knew where the good ones were and gorged on them as kids.
That and dew berries.
Always kept an eye out for snakes around them
they would seen to congregate in blackberry brambles for some reason.

I make it part of the hiking experience, to identify, collect, and eat any fruits, mushrooms, and edible willd plants I find along the trail. Well, I'm usually off the trail, to be honest. Sometimes, I'll sneak a few berries out of the metro parks.
I also have a few black berry bushes at home to snack from.

Of course.

We've got loads of apple trees, a few pear trees, 4 large cherries, too many plum trees to count, walnut, hazelnut and chestnut trees, raspberry and black berry bushes, and strawberries.

Fresh fruit starts in April with the strawberries and May for the raspberries. We pick the last of the raspberries at the end of October/start of November.

Apples are ripe from the end of August, the later ones are still fine on the trees until December. Then we switch to the ones we picked for storage.

Plums come as a glut in September and loads go to the chickens. The cherries are endless throughout June and into July.

And the nuts last a long long time.

I love growing fruit because it comes back every year with very little effort on my part, unlike the veggies which are constant work.

I've only ever stumbled across a Apricot tree and a fig tree.
Wmthey chopped all the trees down when I was a toddler ..
