Ever wonder why you nothing seems to grow around a black walnut tree?
Black Walnut tree
It’s called Juglone and it’s toxic to many plants.
Black Walnut nuts!
The toxicity reaches out 50 to 60 feet beyond the drip line of the tree. Why would you plant them? Because of the beautiful wood, wonderful shade and the nuts!
What can you plant near them?
- Weeping Forsythia
- most Viburnum
- Eastern Redbud
- Canadian Hemlock
- Hosta
- Heuchera
- Daylilies
- Jack-in-the-Pulpit (one of my favorite shade plants)
- Clematis ‘Red Cardinal’
Clematis 'Red Cardinal'
