Which term refers to fruit of nature naturally growing things on the land that do not need annual cultivation?

• A. Fructus Industriales
• B. Emblements
• C. Fructus Naturales
• D. Fixtures

Answer: (C)

Fructus naturales refers to things that grow on and from the land without needing annual planting or cultivation. These are natural growth like trees, grasses, and other perennial vegetation that belong to the land as real property. The idea is that they arise naturally, without ongoing farming work to produce them, so they are part of the real estate itself.

In contrast, fructus industriales are crops that require yearly cultivation and labor to produce, such as grains or vegetables planted and harvested each season; emblements are a special subset of those annual crops, typically grown by a tenant and considered the tenant’s personal property that can be removed when the tenancy ends. Fixtures are items attached to the land in a way that they become part of the real property, not separate personal property.
