An old century-old apple tree has sparked an unprecedented battle in Cornwall, a dispute that divides a small rural community.
Cornwall, this charming peaceful hamlet, has become the scene of an intense legal battle between two neighbors, Pierre Dupont and Jean Moreau. It is an old apple tree planted several centuries ago that is at the heart of this long-standing quarrel. Today, the discord has reached its peak, with a complaint filed for illegal encroachment.
It all began when the apple tree, known for its delicious and juicy apples, started producing fruit more abundantly on Dupont’s side of the house. Moreau, the original owner of the tree, accused his neighbor of stealing the fruit that was rightfully his. In response, Dupont claimed the part of the tree on his side of the house, citing an ancient medieval law that allows anyone to harvest the fruit that falls on their land.
“This is a basic principle, Jean cannot claim all the apples from the old apple tree. It’s like I had a cow and couldn’t have the milk,” exclaimed Pierre Dupont, his face flushed with indignation.
The local community is divided by this bitter dispute. Some support Moreau, claiming he has shown generosity by sharing the apples from the tree over the years. Others back Dupont, emphasizing that he has the right to harvest the fruit that falls on his property.
Meanwhile, the town hall is overwhelmed with calls pleading for a solution to this simmering quarrel. Mayor Martin announced that he would appoint an independent mediator to help resolve the conflict, hoping that this would put an end to the apple tree dispute once and for all.
“I never thought I would have to intervene in a battle over apples,” sighed Mayor Martin. “I hope our beautiful, juicy apple tree survives this ordeal.”
