What is the law in a case where a tree miraculously grew in my backyard
[unlikely not only because open miracles rarely occur but because I don't have a
backyard]. May I cut down the tree and use it as schach? Does the Torah require
that I use naturally grown schach or does miracle schach work too?
The
Kojiklover Rov [Eretz Tzvi Vol. 2 Page 151] asked a similar question. The gemara
[Sanhedrin 59b] relates that a Rabbi miraculously created a calf using
kabbalistic powers [saves on the meat bill...]. May the skin of this calf be
used for the parchment of a sefer torah or tefillin? He cited the gemara in
menachos [69b] that teaches that wheat which fell [miraculously] from the clouds
may be used for menachos [flour offerings]. Maybe then the same would apply to
miraculous skin and to miraculous schach. They may
all be used for mitzvos.
But, as they say in the yeshivos "It's not so
pashut". The Shlah [cited by the Eretz Tzvi] writes that a kabalistically
created animal is not considered an animal and thus doesn't require a kosher
shchita. According to him the skin would also not be valid for parchment and a
miraculous tree would not be considered a tree at all.

Chashukei Chemed on Maseches Succah Page 85 for a discussion.
Conclusion:
When it happens - ask a Rov!
