Neighbour’s fruit falling into your garden? Here’s why you shouldn’t eat it

If your neighbour has a fruit tree and the windfall is landing in your garden, it can be tempting to collect them for your own fruit bowl – but you shouldn’t.

It’s one thing when a neighbour doesn't pick up fruit tree windfall in their own garden, but when it falls over the fence, you have two choices: leave it to rot and attract pests, or make the most of the harvest yourself.
