Some apple trees can produce hundreds of fruit a day. No you wouldn’t. That’s someone else’s problem. It takes massive organization and as you can see no one really cares enough.

A small example of the work needed. You’re not going to get this everywhere or forever and what happens when people stop. The trees don’t stop.
Yes I know, I meant that there could be a dedicated team for this. Yk, people paid by the state to tend to the gardens. If it was a serious problem you could also just use less productive strains of these plants. You could also just compost the excess. Greater endeavors have succeeded and you cant say food production and beauty is not worthwhile. I'm not suggesting we just put a bunch of fruit trees everywhere and expect the public to autonomously maintain them lol.
