I hope this doesn't come off as an ignorant question; but how do you go about asking for permission to collect a tree? I've come across private property near my home with probably 50+ ancient olive trees. Trees appear to be completely uncared for, but very much alive. Owners do live on the property. Is protocol just to simply knock on their door and ask for permission to remove a tree. Do you offer money first? Or inquire as to whether they have plans for the trees. Any advice on how to approach would be appreciated.
