Falling Fruit vs Fruit Patch App

Falling Fruit is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. All proceeds from sales of the app help pay to keep our servers online. We greatly appreciate your support in keeping the project online! Our global map of edibles is not the first of its kind, but it aspires to be the world's most comprehensive. While our users contribute locations of their own, we comb the internet for pre-existing knowledge, seeking to unite the efforts of foragers, foresters, and freegans everywhere. The imported datasets range from small neighborhood foraging maps to vast professionally-compiled tree inventories. This amounts to thousands of different types of edibles (most, but not all, plant species) across thousands of cities around the world. Beyond the cultivated and commonplace to the exotic flavors of foreign plants and long-forgotten native plants, foraging in your neighborhood is a journey through time and across cultures. Falling Fruit is not associated with Fallen Fruit. Fallen Fruit can be found at fallenfruit.org.

As seen in the New York Times! Are you ready for easy-to-grow fruits right outside your door but wondering where to start? The Fruit Patch App has simplified the often-complex world of growing your own fruit by pre-selecting easy-to-grow fruit bushes, fruit trees, and companion plants suited to where you live. Please note that at this time the Fruit Patch App supports states in the Eastern USA that fall within USDA plant hardiness zones 5, 6, 7 and 8 (see our service area map in the app store image carousel for details). By leveraging expert edible landscape knowledge the Fruit Patch App is designed to guide you through a simple selection process for full sun or partial shade fruit options complete with tree and bush descriptions that highlight the ornamental and productive characteristics of fruits suited to your region. Sets of either culinary or pollinator companion plants are also included to diversify your patch. The Fruit Patch App also offers you resources on planting and recommended nurseries to help make your fruit growing experience easy and successful. Whether your goal is a single, self-fertile, disease-resistant apple tree supported by culinary herb companion plants, or native elderberry patches with pollinator habitat companions, the Fruit Patch App will guide you through the process of actualizing your fruitfull dreams. The Fruit Patch App currently guides you to select between 10 different fruiting centerpieces in one or two-patch combinations alongside of options for herbal or pollinator-focused companion plants. Future updates will include additional fruit types, combination possibilities, and new planting category options such as culinary mushrooms. When you create a fruit patch you are supporting a network of other fruit patches that are quickly forming a Food Forest Transformation Network, one patch at a time. This is an opportunity to improve your life and the world around you. Offers this easy and so rewarding rarely come along - don’t miss this opportunity to make life sweeter!
