Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about planting and the provision of fruit in local parks is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to create a fund for local authorities to access to plant fruit trees and bushes in local parks, if that's something you would like to happen.
