An old puzzle.. but continues to puzzle !

A man owns a square field. It has a house (shown square shaded) and ten trees. He offers it to his five sons on condition that they shall live together in the house and divide the land into five equal plots. Each plot must be of the same shape and to contain two trees. How could the sons divide this land?
