[CANUFNET] Boundary Trees

[Alison Bond]

Hello Canufnet:

We've provided advice to our clients in the past about what would constitute a boundary tree in Ontario, based on the Hartley vs. Cunningham case (2013.)  It seems that most municipalities use this interpretation  (i.e., if any portion of the trunk up to the first branch crosses a vertical projection of the property boundary, then it is a boundary tree.)

As it has been more than 10 years since that case, I am wondering whether this has been successfully challenged or whether this is still the accepted definition?  I am asking mainly to ensure that we are giving our clients correct information.

Thank you.

Regards,
Alison
