I'm very ocd and am renovating my town's landscaping to a particular desired result. Right now a ton of trees are all pear trees (native) but i'll be slowly converting to other fruit and pine.
The problem with shaking trees and taking fruit without asking is that now I have to wait another three days for the fruit to come back so i know which fruit tree is which. It's early days yet, and it's not a huge problem but it's just etiquette. When SuperDawn came and visited, she was a perfect example of an appropriate visitor. So far, most visitors have been absolute delights to have in. =)
In other news, turnips have been in low 100's so far this week in my town. blah.
