b) Rights over tapping oil palm trees for pain wine.

In Umueke palm wine is chiefly obtained by tapping the oil palm NKWO (˙˙) - and not the wine palm DGWO (˙.) - the latter being scarce. The right to tap is more circumscribed than the right to cut palm nuts as only certain trees produce wine well. It will be stated that a man can tap any palm in the land of his own division of the village - i.e. an Umueke-ama man can tap anywhere in Umueke-ama provided no one else has already started tapping the tree. But at the same time, when land is shared up between its several owners, palm trees for tapping will be divided separately according to the number of trees and not according to the plot of land they grow on. The man taking chief share of the land will take two palms for himself and will then share them on the basis of getting two more than the next sharer.
