ppl would eat crab apples from trees. In retrospect, a lot of urban soil is excessively high in lead. But it’s maybe possible to just plant some apple trees and they’ll eventually provide some food security.

Also would make those empty lots into more park like structures

    Depends on the area, it’s always better to plant something native to your area. If crab apples are native to where you are planting, go for it.
