I'm not stealing them, if I don't pick them, they fall off and rot doing no good for the tree, thereby completely wasting all the energy the tree spent on making the things. There aren't a lot of marsupials or rodents that have the right type of hands/paws for meaningfully harvesting and spreading of the seeds in my neck of the desert to take care of seed distribution for the tree naturally.

Yes, I am growing lemons, avocados, limes, peaches, bananas, and figs currently in a desert with only collected rainwater, and grey water from my washing machine. There's no city water involved. It doesn't rain very often outside of the "cool autumn" season for about four months of the year, the other 8 months are "warm spring" we don't really get rain then, which is why I have 3400 gallons of rainwater storage that gets refilled in the first or second rain of the season.
