Question
In this Sabbatical year, can I cut a lulav in someone else's field without their permission?
Answer
According to Halacha, currently there is no sanctity of the Sabbatical year in the lulav, and therefore it is not ownerless. It is forbidden to cut it during the Sabbatical year without the owner's permission.
Source
Rambam, Shemitah and Yovel, Chapter 9, Halacha 11. Even according to the early authorities who disagree, in our times, when it is not used for sweeping the house, it does not have sanctity.
