Boundary and border line tree disputes

摘要

Boundary and border line tree disputes are the mosi common type problems that I get involved with as a consulting arborist. It is the first chapter in my book, Tree Law Cases in flu USA, and the longest chapter. In geneul boundary line tree is jointlyowned, sometimes by more than two parties, because the property line runs through and part of the tree trunk. A border line tree is located near to the property line and may have roots and/or branches that extend across the property line. Interestingly, a tree can start as a border line tree and when the tree trunk grows large enough to cross over the property line it becomes a boundary line tree and is then jointly owned.
