I see in the CA Civil Code the following laws:
833. Trees whose trunks stand wholly upon the land of one owner belong exclusively to him, although their roots grow into the land of another.
834. Trees whose trunks stand partly on the land of two or more coterminous owners, belong to them in common.
I can't find any laws that mention other kinds of vegetation.
My question is, is a shrub or bush considered a tree as far as these laws go?
Then, if a shrub is not a tree, and if the shrub spans lots, can one lot owner remove it without consulting the other?
