Okla. Stat. tit. 11, § 11-36-106: Title to trees, shrubbery and parking abutting streets

- Injury to - Powers of municipality.

The owners of real estate situated in municipalities abutting

upon public streets and avenues in the municipality shall have,

subject to the lawful supervision of the municipality over its

streets, such title to and right to property in

1. Growing trees situated in front of such real estate, but

within the boundary line of the streets and avenues, and within the

curb line; or

2. Parking and ornamental shrubbery planted and cultivated

within the curb line of the streets and avenues;

so as to enable the owners, in case of wrongful injury or

destruction of the trees, shrubbery or parking, to recover from the

person or corporation causing the injury or destruction the full

damages which the abutting property in front of which they are

situated may sustain by reason thereof, notwithstanding the fee

title to the land in such streets and avenues may not be in the

owner of the abutting property. The abutting property owners shall

also have, subject to the limitations provided in this section, the

right of action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin

wrongful injury to or destruction of the trees, shrubbery or

parking. The necessary trimming of such trees or shrubbery to

permit the proper stringing and passage of utility and other wires

shall not be considered as a wrongful injury. Nothing in this

section shall deprive the municipal governing body of the ordinary

supervision of its streets, or of the right to direct, by proper

ordinance, the manner of planting or cultivating such trees,

shrubbery or parking, on the part of the street where they shall be

so planted and cultivated, and from exercising reasonable

supervision of the same, and causing them to be trimmed and grown in

such manner as not to interfere with public travel upon the streets

and sidewalks or other public use.
