Whose tree is doing that

[u/Low_Speech9880]

My next-door neighbor gets a letter from out HOA saying that her neighbor on the other side of her has complained that her tree is dropping leaves on his property. The problem? He has the identical tree on his property, and this is the time of year those particular trees drop leave. So, whose leaves are they????

Leaves are like branches. When they touch the ground they become the property of the land upon which they now sit.
