It certainly is legal, if the tree has a red ribbon, making it public domain. They introduced these ribbons a few years ago. Other areas use other colors to signal the same. I reckon the most common reason is owners getting too old to farm on their own, so they can put these lanyards on (or probably tell the townhall to do so). This way everybody is invited to pick fruit considerately and it does not go to waste completely. Before the red ribbons you could see tons of fruit decaying on the ground in masses. Now that of course still happens but is greatly reduced.
Gathered some more today and pressed nine liters of apple juice. I definitely have to build an apple grinder. I don't trust these al-cheapo versions you find online everwhere.
> public domain trees
this took a really weird turn
@akoizumi Alright, only the fruits become public domain, not the entire trees. ;-)
