fructus naturales

fructus naturales

The fruits of nature, meaning things produced by nature without the help of humans, such as fruits, wool, offspring of animals, and milk. At common law, these things did not belong to a tenant, who could not make any claim for them at the end of a tenancy. The terms fructus naturales and fructus industriales are not representative of modern agribusiness or ranching, but come from a time before the industrial revolution.
