The energy stored in a tree is primarily potential energy. This energy is stored in the form of chemical energy through photosynthesis, where the tree converts sunlight into glucose and stores it in its cells for growth and metabolism. When the wood is burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.

Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.

chemical energy
The potential energy stored in the leaf is converted to kinetic energy as it falls from a tree.
Primarily potential energy (possibly a little bit of kinetic energy if it is swinging back and forth). If whatever it is hanging by is severed, it will fall - transitioning from potential to kinetic energy.
No, your neighbor cannot pick fruits off your tree that are hanging on their property without your permission. It is considered trespassing and the fruits are still considered your property until they are harvested.
The energy stored in an apple on a tree is in the form of chemical potential energy. This energy is derived from the conversion of sunlight during photosynthesis, which is stored in the form of sugars and nutrients in the apple.
