Answer 19

Collect the apples and make a delicious apple pie and take half to your neighbours together with a small bowl of custard.  You will find over the next few weeks apples will fall into your garden as if by magic, as your neighbours enjoyed your pie so much they are coming out in the dark and shaking their tree.

Answer 20

Yes, legally and morally. They are yours to munch and crunch.

Answer 21

Any item naturally growing item that falls into your property becomes your property. If you cut it down, you must return it to its owner.

Answer 22

That is a complex question.  BUT I happened to find exactly what you are looking for.  Click on the link below.  It resembles that question you ask.  The Fallen Fruit law.

The two parties involved should meet to discuss the disposition of the fruit.  The location of the trunk of the tree determines the trees' owner.  So the owner has the right to his fallen fruit.  However, the neighbor who owns the property onto which the said fruit has fallen has the right to protect against trespass.  So a meeting between the two parties to discuss the disposition of the fallen fruit is the best remedy in this case.

As for your poll, personally, I believe that the fruit would belong to the person on who's property it falls.

But you gotta ask yourself a question:  "Which would you rather find in YOUR apple, a worm or a half of a worm?"
