AIUI, the tree remains the property of the landowner, but who is liable for the cost of removing it from other people's land, the highway, etc, so commonly it becomes the property of the person who removes it in lieu of such payment. It's like a tree branch that hangs over your property. You are at liberty to 'prune' it at the boundary between the properties but you must offer the cut branch back to the person who owns the tree. I was once told by a forester that if he cuts down a tree the timber still belongs to the landowner even if he is employed by the landowner to cut and remove it.
