In Romania, cutting down a walnut tree without authorization can lead to fines up to 10,000 lei, applicable even in private gardens. The same regulations apply to edible chestnut trees, which also require permission for removal. However, ornamental chestnuts are subject to different legal provisions, particularly regarding their location. For public spaces, specific laws limit interventions on ornamental trees, allowing removal only under justified circumstances. Violating these regulations can result in significant penalties. Before removing any tree, it is essential to consult the local agricultural authority or the municipality to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
