Brother, can you spare a grapefruit?

An interesting idea in today's Times:

Neighbor, Can You Spare a Plum?

By KIM SEVERSON

OAKLAND, Calif.

THE loquats were ripe and just begging to be picked.

But there was a problem. Although the tree was planted on private property, the loaded branches hung over the street.

Did that make the fruit public property?

In the end, with no one around to ask, Asiya Wadud decided the answer was yes. So she added them to a bag already heavy with Meyer lemons picked (with permission) from a yard a few blocks away. Then she headed off to check on some plum trees.

The article identifies two websites devoted to fruit sharing: neighborhoodfruit.com and veggietrader.com. I checked them both out and neither had listings for Florida. But maybe someday?
