Most of a big oak tree hangs over my yard, but the trunk is on the neighbors property. Who owns the tree?
Your neighbor. It is accepted law in all states that a tree whose trunk stands wholly on the land of one person belongs to that person.If the trunk stands partly on the land of two or more people, it is called a boundary tree, and in most cases it belongs to all the property owners. All the owners are responsible for caring for the tree, and one co-owner may not remove a healthy tree without the other owners permission.
