Abstract

It is trite law that a tree growing on land forms part of the land and, therefore, attaches to the realty owned by the freeholder or leaseholder. What is, perhaps, less obvious is that it is possible for a landowner to own (and to transfer) a freehold or leasehold estate in a tree which is separate from estate ownership of the subjacent soil, provided that the tree has not been severed from the realty.
