In Romania, cutting down edible chestnuts or walnuts requires prior authorization due to legal protections. Violators face hefty fines ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 lei. The law mandates that requests for tree removal must be submitted at least one month in advance and evaluated by agricultural authorities. Simply having an old tree or concerns about its safety does not exempt owners from this requirement. Proper procedures must be followed to avoid penalties.
