Find Fruit in Your Neighborhood Using New iPhone App

Looking for local blackberries for a pie? Interested in learning fun facts about common edible plants? Feel like organizing a fruit picking adventure in your neighborhood?

Neighborhood Fruit has just released an iPhone app (called Find Fruit) that allows you to locate fruit growing on public land in Seattle, among a handful of other cities.

The full list of iPhone features includes:

  • Location of thousands of trees on public land nationwide on a standard Google Map.
  • Current location or zipcode/address enabled search.
  • Directions from your current location.
  • Configurable fruit tree search by seasonality, type of tree, proximity, and number of trees displayed.
  • Usage, description and factoids for all available fruit types, ranging from the pedestrian Apple, to the exotic Yellow Mangosteen.
  • Beautiful and informative illustrations to help identify the fruit.
  • Intuitive and fun interface.

To download the app, simply visit the iTunes store. The current cost of the app is $0.99, which is about the same price you’d pay for a shiny red apple.
