Uprooting a khushkhash (Seville Orange) tree

Question

I have a tree that produces khushkhash (Seville orange) fruit. A new graft was performed, but it still produces khushkhash. Is it permissible to uproot it?

Answer

Dr. Mordechai Shomron, agronomist

If the tree has no value, it may be uprooted by a non-Jew.
