Wow!!!! That's bold. I'd make a cute little wooden sign that said "Thou

not steal" and put it up

Part of the problem may be that many don't see 'sampling' as
stealing. You have so many -- you won't miss "just a few," and it's
far too much trouble to stop and ask. If the poster's tree(s) is/are
near the road, it may be impossible to stop without physical barriers.

Many people feel free to just dig up plants and cart them off also, assuming
that no one really owns that "abandoned lot" or road-side ditch.
