[Trusties] Useful Street trees?

[kirsten bradley]

Hey all,

Searching for info and preferably concrete examples of street trees  
in Australia that are 'useful' - ie fruit or nut bearing...

My sister is on council and wants to have another crack at lobbying  
for street trees in her town that are, infact, of use...

I am aware that there have been many failed attempts at this sort of  
thing due to concerns about fruit-fly, it looking 'messy' etc etc etc  
- however, can anyone point me in the direction of some successful  
examples of this strategy in Australia? This particular situation  
needs to get thru council, so I'm not really after "just rip the  
buggers out and replant with cumquats" suggestions, unless I could  
then veneer that example to make it look like it had been sanctioned...

I would, at a pinch, take examples within schools etc, and also  
overseas examples of this...

Thanks in advance,

Kirsten
