Translation:Shulchan Aruch/Choshen Mishpat/325

Paragraph 1- If one accepts a field from the owner for a few years, he may not plant flax and does not have rights to the sycamore wood or anything similar or the appreciation of the trees that came out in the field on their own. We would, however, appraise the area of the trees as if they had the species he planted in the rest of the field, assuming the trees sprouted in an area that is fit for planting. ''There are those who say that if the renter says he too would have planted trees, the owner must give him trees as if he planted them. If he says he preferred to plant greenery over trees and the trees were able to be planted elsewhere, the owner must give him the value of the trees that were going to be planted. If they were not fit to be planted elsewhere, he would only have to pay for the value of the wood.'' If the trees sprouted in a place that was not fit for planting, however, we would not appraise anything for the renter. If the renter accepted the field for seven years, he can plant flax in the first year and would have rights to the sycamore wood and anything similar.
