Article 520 of the French Civil Code

Crops hanging by the roots and the fruits of trees not yet gathered are similarly immovable.

As soon as the grains are cut and the fruits detached, though not removed, they are movable.

If only part of the crop is cut, that part alone is movable.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 520

Les récoltes pendantes par les racines et les fruits des arbres non encore recueillis sont pareillement immeubles.

Dès que les grains sont coupés et les fruits détachés, quoique non enlevés, ils sont meubles.

Si une partie seulement de la récolte est coupée, cette partie seule est meuble.
