Trees on boundaries

Spatial arrangement

Tree growing on farm boundaries is a very common practice, but it
requires agreement between the neighbor’s involved to avoid conflicts.
There are different ways of sharing trees planted on a boundary.
Sometimes two rows of trees are planted, one on each side of the
boundary, and then each farmer grows and manages his own trees. A
disadvantage with this system is that it occupies more land than a
single row. If trees are grown in a single row, the neighbours can agree
on ownership of every second tree, for example. In such cases it is
recommended that trees of the same species are grown, although it
may be difficult to keep track of which tree belongs to which farmer. If
different species are chosen, one species may outcompete the other
and one of the two farmers be disadvantaged. Another option is for the
neighbor’s to agree to own trees in different sections of the boundary.
This may be easier than owning every second tree, and it is then
possible to choose different species for different sections according to
the farmers' preferences.
