How to add Community Fruit Trees to the Map

Here are instructions for adding your trees to the Community Fruit Trees to the map through Falling Fruit once you’ve planted them. The breakdown follows prompts on the site in order:

• Types* – search and select the tree variety (i.e. elderberry), search and select “Community Fruit Trees”. This must be done for the tree to show up on the Community Fruit Trees map.
• Position* – search an address to get the marker in a general area, then input the Latitude and Longitude (can be found using a pin on falling fruit map directly or in google earth)
• Your name – add yours/your organization name should you wish 
• Description: please paste the following

“Date Planted: XX/XX/20XX. Tree will likely not fruit for a couple years from date of planting.

This is a Community Fruit Tree. Community Fruit Trees are publicly owned fruit trees that are easily accessible for anyone to pick from.
