Compare three things:
1. A rooted mango tree intended to grow there — included with the land.
2. A movable tool laid on the ground — not included merely by being there.
3. A standing wheat crop — unlike a permanent tree, it has its own rule in the next clause.
Thus “it is on the land” is insufficient. The distinction is between lasting appurtenances and temporary crops or movable belongings.
