Default Replacing a tree

Hi. I have a very old willow next to a well that 3 professionals recommend to be removed.

I would like to put some other tree there, but I have some requisites:
. Provide good shade in summer
. Roots no invasive, particularly with the well there
. Relative fast growing or easy to buy in bigger sizes
. If possible nice leaves, flowers or fruits.

Any suggestions?


How much space do you have? I plant oaks when I want a quick non native
plant but then I have lots of space for them.
