My aunt used to have a tangerine tree in front of the house, she didn’t mind if someone takes some fruit from it but what made us really mad is that eventually assholes broke branches to get them.
I’ve had two trees in my whole life, both plastic, at this rate maybe I’ll have 3 in my total life. I still don’t get why people cut live ones, you hurt the tree, it probably will make a mess while drying, and you’ll end up trashing it at the end of the season.
Yes the smell must be nice but there are options now for that scent…
