Postie Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We have recently bought a property with a number of walnut trees. After reading some scare stories about the dangers of growing plants & veg near the walnuts, I found this site on google which may be of interest to anyone with walnut trees. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1148.htmlCheersPostie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 That article is about Black Walnut (Juglans nigra - timber only, native to N&S.America) not Common Walnut (Juglans regia - timber and nuts, native to Europe & Asia), so I don't think it applies to you [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postie Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanx Tandem-PilotI will do some research & see what I come withPostie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postie Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Dear Tandem-PilotHave had a bit of a look for Common Walnut on google but there doesn't seem to be much detail about it. The fruit trees and plants that are currently growing on our property are exactly the same as those described in the Black Walnut article. Perhaps you (or any other member) can tell me more about the Common Walnut as I don't want to plant my new trees only to find that the die off. Many thanxPostie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittersmate Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 We have an old walnut tree on our property, all sorts of other plants,shrubs, weeds and trees grow under it and around it - so I wouldn't worry over much about planting trees near them.

richard51 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Fittersmate - perhaps so. The mature walnut tree in front of our french house was half cut down during a storm. Pretty heavy bough!!!The plot next to our house certainly has overgrown walnut trees but overall the area has very well maintained and productive walnut trees. I always marvel that we can walk along near our house and there is an abundance of nuts just lying on the ground and in the supermarket in the UK a tiny pack cost lots.NB we are abt 5 kms from part of the Route de la Noix in the Perigord. I understand that some farmers will not claim their land is commercial so as to avoid paying legally required taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
