At first it's funny then it's kind of unsettling. Not even trees can hide from the all-seeing eye. Just go spot fruit trees on your own.

- simion314 8y ago>Just go spot fruit trees on your own. How would you know if you are allowed to pick the fruits? Not all private properties are fenced, so if you take your bugs and go hunting for fruits you could get face to face with the angry owner, his dog and who knows in some countries his gun.
- hinkley 8y agoWhat pisses people off the most is when people damage the tree trying to get the fruit. Losing one crop is frustrating but now some jerk has compromised the tree for years or maybe forever. There’s a group here that gets the owners’ permission. Some of those trees were planted by the previous owner or someone whose health or free time doesn’t let them pick like they used to. This group gleans the tree, and then the fruit is split evenly between the owner, the pickers, and a food bank. The owner gets a little less fruit but does something good and has less rotting fruit to clean up that year.

- always_good 8y agoThe fruit trees would love it. Wide seed dispersal? People coming from nearby regions to eat? I produce a different kind of seed but I'd still sign up. But fwiw I've learned that if you ever find yourself saying "Just <do something>, [it's that easy!]" then you're likely making a silly comment regardless of subject.
