Cultivated crops are also referred to as what?

Cultivated crops are specifically referred to as emblements. This term describes crops that are grown annually and can be harvested, which are considered personal property rather than real property. The concept of emblements is important in real estate law, particularly in the context of leases or tenancies. If a tenant farmer has planted crops and then their lease ends, the tenant has the right to return to harvest those crops, as they are legally considered to be personal property of the tenant until they are gathered.

Fixtures, chattels, and appurtenances do not accurately describe cultivated crops. Fixtures refer to items that are permanently attached to land or buildings. Chattels include tangible movable personal property but do not specifically refer to crops. Appurtenances are rights or privileges that come with the property, such as easements, but again, do not directly relate to cultivated crops. Therefore, emblements is the precise term that applies to the cultivation of crops in the context of real estate.
