Quick snack found on KU's fruit trees
Not many are aware of the large number of edible fruits and nuts that can be found on the Hill. For instance, there are approximately 3,000 crab apple trees on campus. Harold Blitch, landscape supervisor for the Buildings and Grounds department, said that some persons have made jelly, preserves, and even cider from them in the past.

Not all people who eat on the hill go to the Kansas Union, the Call Cafe, or vending machines. In warmer weather a few will forage for food from the natural food supply on campus grounds.
THERE IS A row of pear trees on Jayhawk Boulevard opposite the Chi Omega fountain. While the fruit is ripe students, faculty, and even the policemen on duty there, can be assured of a between-meal snack.
There are a number of persimmon trees. One of the best is in front of Strong Hall. Another good one is by the nurses' home

and several are in the grove north of the hill, Blitch said. Few persimmons lay on the ground for long, and the ones on lower limbs are picked before they have the chance to fall.
BLACK WALNUT trees are all over the campus. Several groups of people have been seen in the grove gathering nuts on Sunday afternoons.

Some cherry shrubs are located behind the Fine Arts museum. The cherries are very small, not like the type found in stores, but reputedly make good pies.
There are pecan trees in front of Strong, some at Sudler Place and at Oliver Hall. A few pecan nuts are available after the squirrels get through. Blitch planted the nuts for these trees 12 years ago.
THE ONLY dangerous plant on the campus is poison ivy. "If I knew where it grew I would go out and spray it," Mr. Blitch said. It is not widespread, however, and causes little trouble.

Blitch does not encourage picking the fruits and nuts, because of damage to the trees. The best way to obtain the fruit is to pick up what has already ripened and fallen to the ground. That way, there can be no objection, he said.
