    Hmm, personally wouldn’t treat fruit trees like fair game unless they’re on public property. Seems many US jurisdictions would consider it petty theft or something.

    Common punishment would probably be smart doorbell footage of the “burglar” going up on Nextdoor :)

      It’s called an attractive nuisance and you could be liable if someone climbs the tree to get some.

      Have some personal accountability for the stuff the public can access, kids aren’t always taught to know better.
