Liability, IMHO. They're low and shrubby, unlike real trees that are big enough to get under. If you don't put the time and effort into them, you get no edible fruit, just a bunch of litter. So, they're fine for someone who wants them and will care for them. For anyone else, they're just a pain.

I like them in my yard but haven't planted any on a rental property-yet.
On a similar note here is a link to research that trees in general raise rents by $5/month and trees on the property line add $21/month. Seems like a reason to beautify with low-maintenance evergreens, at least! :cool:
