    Where I live people can not even be bothered to pick apples from the apple trees on the site of the road, which are planted by the city so anybody can just do that.

    So rather I am rathet amazed that most Australians seem to actually grow at least some of their own food.

      Really? I know the location of around 10-15 apple trees around my area now and you pretty much never see any apples within arms reach, beyond that there are loads. Its clear that they are being picked.

      Plums and sloes don’t seem to be so popular and I think blackberries are so abundant that even though people are picking them there are more to go round than there is demand for them.
