Uprooting a feijoa tree
Question
My friend has a feijoa tree in his garden. The tree produces very small, sour fruit that are not pleasant to eat. Is it permissible to uproot the tree?
Answer
If the tree does not have any value since its fruit is of an inferior quality, it is permissible to uproot it, preferably by a non-Jew. It is also permissible to stop watering the tree, and it will die on its own.
