What are cultivated crops referred to in real estate?

1. Improvements

2. Appurtenances

3. Emblements

4. Fixtures

The correct answer is: Emblements

Cultivated crops are referred to as "emblements" in real estate because they are typically treated as personal property separate from the land. This is unlike improvements, which are permanent additions to the land, or appurtenances, which are rights or amenities associated with the property. Fixtures are also permanent additions to the land, but they are attached to the property and considered part of the real estate rather than personal property. Therefore, "emblements" is the most specific and accurate term for cultivated crops in the context of real estate.
