Clarifications:
- Apples from a neighbor don’t count here.
- Apples from a homestead that has been abandoned for at least five years does count.
- Apples oddly growing in a place where there has never been any cultivation counts too (probably a discarded
apple core
led to the tree).
- Apples that are the result of guerilla
gardening do count.
