This feels like it might have unintended consequences. My mom lives in a neighborhood where lots of people have fruit trees and allow neighbors to take some because none of them could eat all of the fruit.

Probably to sell them somewhere. If that weren't enough, they do a lot of damage to the trees. It's just sad.
