Walnut and butternut trees have juglone in their roots, and it will kill trees planted near it (if you do happen to have one.) To be safe, I would say further than 30'.

I've had experience with peach trees. Reliant is a good producer. If you have deer in the area, you will need something to protect the trees as they grow. Apples, cherries and pears are easier than peach.
