Default Replacing a tree

Hi again,

I already have a persimmon (amazing fruit, love it!) and it gives
more fruits than we can eat. My wife already forbid me to bring
another "one of those dirty trees"!!

Olive tree is also in the list. Cork Oak does not do well in this
part of the country.

Olive tree Walnut Orange (I would not mind a sanguinello, but cannot
find them here) Chestnut

Any idea on how bad the chestnut tree roots are?

Thanks a million to all for taking time to help! PA


I don't think that Sweet Chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) are
particularly of concern. You may find the information here on many
species of interest:

Another suggestion - Cornus capitata
