There is a huge mulberry tree down by the road where I live. As far as I can tell, it’s only being attended by birds (who then summarily cover my car in blue poop) – it’s not in anyone’s yard and no one has ever shown any interest in it. I have to assume that some kind of municipal service takes care of it since it hangs over a road. The berries just fall on the road when ripe and I have never seen anyone pick or clean them. On a scale of one to ten, how rude is it of me to walk there with a stepladder and pick a little bucket?
