As long as you've replenished the organic matter and therefore
nutrients in the soil with the application of compost, you can plant
anything you want. Large conifers do not 'poison' the soil......they
only remove soil nutrients and moisture from the immediate area.
Adding compost or other organic matter that will replace nutrients and
assist in moisture retention is all that is needed.
