Sir, - Is it possible for the relevant authorities in this country, ie Department of Environment, city corporations and county councils, etc, when planting new trees in our suburbs to perhaps consider fruit trees - apple, pear, peach, to name a few?
Who knows, maybe vandalism could be curbed and a community spirit enhanced by holding "harvest days", competitions, etc. - Yours, etc., David Sliney,
Kells, Co Meath.
