1139. In no case may the usufructuary fell trees growing on the land subject to the usufruct except for repairs, maintenance or exploitation of the land. He may, however, dispose of those which have fallen or died naturally.

The usufructuary replaces the trees that have been destroyed, in conformity with the usage of the place or the custom of the owners. He also replaces orchard and sugar bush trees, unless most of them have been destroyed.
