Idea: If every person would plant just 1 fruit or nut tree this spring, what would happen to hunger?

I was eating an apple the other day and as I got to the core I saw that the seeds had already sprouted! So I took the seeds and planted them in pots to root. I couldn't toss it, it was a living thing! lol This has given me the idea though, if everyone would plant a fruit or nut tree this spring? All the neighbors trees would help cross pollinate your trees, no need to worry which tree to buy, just plant!! I am such a nature lover, I can't help it. We need more trees anyway, as I see so many trees taken down and not replaced. The worst that could happen would be lots of fruit to give away to the local food bank, yes?

What say you? Opinions welcome.
So I cause a run on the nurseries! lol

This is a great idea. You could even graft fruit tree branches on trees that are already planted!

Thank you for your idea. You would be welcome to graft from my trees. Grafting is done from new growth, so no loss there. :)
