ownership based on whether greater than 50% of the tree is over the property line. There is no shared ownership.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region> that a tree that straddles the property line is jointly owned.
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ontario</st1:place></st1:State> has specific legislation dealing with that. The new judgement seems to reinforce but not radically alter established law.
