    Just… Leave it? You don’t have to destroy it. You can just… Not?

    I don’t see why it needs to be touched other than for the purposes of preventing people from getting free fruit. Nature will run its course with the trees either dying or becoming part of a new ecosystem once humans aren’t maintaining it anymore.

        Odds are if you stop irrigation for a few weeks you just got a bunch of dead trees.

        The only real humanitarian justification I can find for this is that a bunch of dead trees becomes a fire hazard. I’m guessing peach trees aren’t native to the California desert and would likely dry out and become highly flammable within a few months.

        I’m sure their reasoning is more along the lines of “my property” though

        Yeah ok, do that then? The only reason to touch them is to prevent anyone else from using them. At least few people might consider digging a tree up for their home.
