    They are Misty, but it would depend on how they’re being used and the number of trees. If it’s a house on an acreage and there are just a couple of trees whose fruit is consumed by the tenant, you’d be pushing it. If it’s a business and there is an orchard then the trees would theoretically be an income producing asset. Grape vines are treated similarly. Off the top of my head, I don’t knoe the effective life of either. If I remember (we’re getting very busy), I’ll do some digging on Monday.

    Only if it was a profitable concern (i.e. you sold the fruit. If it was a tennant just eating the fruit, no).
