And who is going to pay to water, tend, pick. And ship these to the homeless?
Who ever is paying to destroy them, rip the trees out and rehab the land to something else, what they’re already doing isn’t free. Avoidable food waste should be illegal.
Look up the types of peaches. They aren't sustainable long term and they need to be replaced regardless. Removing them is less cost then tending and distributing.
