Most fruit trees grown in the U.S. did not originate here and are not grown in pots. Even when they are, the runoff has a local effect.
Further, look at the ornamental plants plants in your yard. They have significantly perturbed the local ecology.
In general, when you increase the amount of water applied to an area of ground, or enhance the nutrients available to plants in the soil it is usually not "friendly" to the local ecology -- regardless of the source of the water or nutrients.
