Trees, shrubs and bushes may only be planted close to the boundary of the neighbouring property at the distance prescribed by the specific regulations currently in force, or by constant and recognised usage and, in the absence of regulations and usage, at a distance of two metres from the dividing line of the two heritages for plantations whose height exceeds two metres, and at a distance of half a metre for other plantations.
Trees, shrubs and bushes of any kind may be planted in espaliers, on either side of the dividing wall, without any distance being required to be observed, but they may not extend beyond the crest of the wall.
If the wall is not a party wall, the owner alone has the right to lean espaliers against it.
