Commentary for Bava Metzia 218:9

לא נקצץ דומיא דיבש מה יבש בלא זמנו אף נקצץ בלא זמנו

Raba ruled: As principal; therefore land must be bought therewith, of which he [the mortagee] enjoys the usufruct. An objection is raised: If the tree withered or was cut down, both are forbidden to use it. What then shall be done? It must be sold for timber, land bought with the proceeds, and he [the mortgagee] takes the usufruct.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra 79a. ');">¹⁶</span>
