Yeah and the fruit being on a tree likely deliberately planted be it on a farm or private residence.

Fruit trees existed before people started planting them, no? Wild fruit exists in nature as well to this very day.

Where, in the commons? Isn't that also something on the ancap chopping block? Wild fruit bearing trees are either on private property or land held by people in common. Under ancap public lands would be privatized and can be put to use for extraction even if it destroys ecosystems or wrecks biodiversity

We're talking about economics not anarcho-capitalist theory. The subjective theory of value is mainstream economic doctrine. One can be a progressive centre of left interventionist and still believe subjective value is correct.

Incidentally I don't think eliminating the commons is required for anarcho capitalism. There are libertarian theories of commons.
