The only fruit trees prohibited are ones that might drop "dangerous" fruit on to folks walking by on the sidewalk. Check out this SDOT blog post, with links to the approved fruit trees. http://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2009/10/27/what-a-lovely-planting-strip/ -Elaine Hi Cathy,

We have an incredible inventory of mature fruit and nut trees in Seattle that are begging to be rescued from blackberries and ivy and cared back to productive health. Check out the City Fruit web site: www.cityfruit.org for classes and good information about taking care of your and your neighbors' fruit trees.

I love the idea of integrating edible hedgerows and food forests throughout our city, what a great way to integrate local food into our everyday lives. There is a wonderful example of an edible hedgerow on 105th N Seattle, you probably know of it, by Nathan Hale Highschool, it has a lot of the common permaculture plants in it and is a great example of what can be done. It is loaded with food every summer, I would love to see more of this around town! Thanks! Hi Cathy, I’m really enjoying reading your posts on here, thank you for posting!
