MISHNAH: He who buys two trees on another’s property did not acquire the land; Rebbi Meїr says, he acquired the land. If they grew, he need not cut them. What grows from the stem is his, from the roots is the owner’s of the ground. If they died, he has no land. If he bought three, he bought the land. If they grew, he has to cut them. What grows from the roots is his. If they died, he has the land.

HALAKHAH: “He who buys two trees on another’s property,” etc. (The words) [In the House of] Rebbi Yannai they said, what sees the shadow is root, what sees the sun is stem. Rebbi Ḥama bar Uqba in the name of Rebbi Yose: What grows from its roots and its stem is root, from its stem but not its roots is tree. Rebbi Joḥanan said, he who buys three trees buys the land in between them, under them, and outside of them the width of the harvester and his bag. Rebbi Eleazar said, while he has no access, he has the width of the harvester and his bag outside of them.
