St. Petersburg summer residents were allowed to bake a charlotte from apples fallen from neighbors

Residents were told who legally owns apples that grew on a neighboring tree, but fell over the fence on someone else's land. As explained by the lawyer in an interview with argumenti.ru, the owner of the site has the right to collect apples and prepare, for example, a charlotte.

By law, the fruit belongs to the owner of the tree. The apples remain the property of your neighbor, even if they are on your lawn. The neighbor has no right to enter your yard without permission to collect your crop, but you, collecting these fruits, technically take someone else's property.

On the other hand, the owner of the land owns everything that is on the surface of his plot. If the neighbor did not tie the branches and did not protect his crop from falling behind the fence, then the apple that fell on your ground becomes your property. In order not to quarrel, experts advise just to talk to neighbors or initially plant trees a couple of meters from the fence.
