Walnut in a hedgerow ?

 


I am planning a country hedgerow with native trees and shrubs mainly
spiny as
blackthorn,hawthorn,also hazel,field maple,wild privet,dog
rose... and wild
fruits mainly prunus.

There is a walnut tree (J.regia) growing on this line , I am afraid that
the
walnut will badly affect the other hedge plants ,what do you think
?

thanks !

It very well could affect some of them.  Black Walnut roots seep juglone
into the soil, and while it's best known for being very toxic to
tomatoes and white birch, there are many other plants, trees and shrubs
it affects.  Try a Google search on "plants affected by black walnut" as
an example.  I believe the Wiki article on Black Walnut also gives a
list, though it is probably not exhaustive.

     Whoa, on second glance, I see you describe it as a Juglans Regia

English Walnut, but I'm not sure it doesen't have toxic qualities to
other plants.  Again, a good search should give you the answers.

Hi Tony ,

Thank for your answers,
I know also English Walnut affect with juglone other plants , I made
many
searches in several languages , I was thinking that in the several
British
Hedgerows experiences may find some advice !
I was also using the black walnut information but so I find only
American
species,anyway may be useful !

I will try again as I don't like to fell this tree ,

If you want to save the tree, best bet is to only plant outside the drip
line of the tree.
