The
Black Walnut is a dependable producer of extra large crops for many
years. The nuts are large and plump and crack out of the shell easily.
The roots of the black walnut produce a substance known as juglone
(5-hydroxy-alpha-napthaquinone). This biochemical is toxic to many
plants such as the tomato, potato, black and blue berries, and other
plants that may grow within a 50 to 60 foot radius of the trunk.
Not all plants are sensitive to juglone and many trees, vines, shrubs,
and flowers will thrive in close proximity to a black walnut tree.
