If someone built a Sukkah large enough to enclose a tree, but not more than 20 Amoth tall, may someone sit under that tree on Sukkoth?

How is this different from sitting under a bed? –  Double AA Sep 30 '12 at 20:03
That's probably the answer. –  Seth J Sep 30 '12 at 20:05

No, because the sukkah is supposed to be the one that covers you, not the tree.

If the distance from the ground to the bottom of the tree is ten tefachim, you don't fulfill your obligation (Orach Chayim 627:1).
