Fruit Picking Etiquette - What is OK & what isn't

[Rumi in Hawaii]

Wow....driving over the sidewalk? Picking from the truck? Climbing in your tree? Yeah, I would consider that excessive! And I agree with the posts that point out that there are so many trees with fruit falling on the ground and rotting..... I've found some guava trees along the highway and other roads, and I've picked them and made jam..... so I'm even more aware of the waste when I see fruit on the ground. With so many folks "hungry" it seems that more folks would offer (and at least ASK!) to pick fruit from folks' trees that are not being harvested.

I'm no kama'aina, but I sure think those guys were out of line.
