What fruit tree roots don't get along?

Sometimes I find a thin root from another neighboring fruit tree in the hole I’m digging. I cut it back as much as I can. It may be 1/4-inch diameter or so. Today I found an apple root that went through a peach tree hole I was digging. Will they get along? What fruit tree roots don’t get along?

I wouldn’t exactly for apple and peach roots interfering with one or anothers growth. I know black walnut trees kill apple trees when growing within root contact of another. I would think if a deep rooted tree was with a shallow rooted tree they would interfere less with another, and when digging under mature large trees apple seem to have deeper set roots than peach.
