Register My Tree
Fruit Growers start by registering their fruit bearing tree. When the fruit is ready to share, My Tree information is available in a user's profile.
Share My Fruit
Fruit Growers use the Share My Fruit form to notify the community when their fruit is ready. When submitted, fruit information appears on a map; location is approximated to protect privacy.

Neighborhood Fruit is collaborating with the Urban Forest Mapping Project to capture information about urban forests and inner-city carbon sequestration. We do not share your private information with them; we only share information about your trees. When registering your tree, you will have an opportunity to opt-out from sharing your tree information if you wish not to participate.

It's always a good idea to use common sense. You may prepare the fruit for pick up from a public location or your work site if you don't want strangers on your property.

Liability is always a concern with everything we do, but here are a few things that will protect you:
- When Neighborhood Fruit connects you with someone to come pick your fruit, we will also ask them to agree to a also provide them with a liability waiver, indicating that they will not hold you responsible for any injury or illnesses that result from picking or eating your fruit to sign and give to you.

Sharing your bounty on Neighborhood Fruit is a two step process. First, you Register My Tree, filling out fruit type, seasonality and location information. Second, you Share My Fruit, deciding how you want to be contacted and any additional information. Once you submit, your shared fruit is visible on the map, although location shown is an approximation for your protection.

We love Canada, and the UK, and Russia, but Neighborhood Fruit currently operates only in the US. Every country has different laws about fruit sharing, which requires legal knowledge we don't have resources for at the moment. But we are growing fast - we may expand to a country near you in the future, so please come back soon!

Yes, registration is free. Registering enables you to be able to browse the maps of fruit on public land, offerings from backyard trees, and join the community.

Backyard fruit grows on private property and is offered to Neighborhood Fruit users by people who have enough to share. Trees on public land are accessible by anyone, but there is no guarantee that a particular tree has fruit.
