who is responsible for tree on property line

[VanSophie]

If a tree's trunk is on the property line, it is considered a "boundary tree" and is jointly owned by both property owners, meaning they share both the rights and responsibilities for its upkeep. Both neighbors can trim branches that extend over their property line, but they must not damage the tree's long-term health. If the tree's trunk is entirely on one property, the owner of that property is responsible for the tree.
