Walnut is an option. I am not going for oak as I already have a couple.

So far, the options a
- Orange/clementine tree
- Mango (will need protection for the first few years) Not a favourite
as it is not native.
- Wallnut
- Almond (Although I think roots are quite bad for the well)
- Chestnut

I kind of like the idea of some sort of nut tree.


Remember that some of those get quite big, with a corresponding
root spread. But those conditions would enable you to grow most
boreal fruit or nut trees, and many others. I suggest thinking
of all of those and cross out ones that are too small, too large,
sucker too readily, or you simply don't want.
