San Francisco, and most cities, prohibits fruit-bearing trees on sidewalks and other public right-of-ways, saying they are health and safety hazards. The fear is that fallen, rotten fruits attract rats and squirrels and cause pedestrians to slip and fall. Many of the urban trees managed by the SF Department of Public Works are ornamental fruit trees such as apple, pear, plum, lemon, and cherry which produce normal leaves and flowers, but small or no fruit.
