" 'Immovable property' does not include standing timber, growing crops or grass."

"Timber" has been defined under Section 2 (6) of the Forest Act. It includes trees when they have fallen or even felled, and all wood whether cut up or fashioned or hollowed out for any purpose or not. Section 2 (4) of Forest Act defines forest produce. Halsbury's Laws of England (4th Edn.) Vol. 19 p. 21 para. 33 deals with timber and trees:

"Meaning of timber at any law oak. ash and elm are timber if over twenty years old, but not so old as to have no usable wood in them. Other trees may be timber by the custom of the country. Thus beech is timber by the custom of Buckinghamshire and parts of Gloucestershire. Aspen and horse-chestnut are timber in some counties. Trees less than six inches in diameter have been said not to be timber."
