Hey, I was just about to start a thread about gardening myths and the black walnut was going to be my prime example. In my garden, I have what some people swear is the biggest black walnut tree in the county and I grow everything under there, including fruit trees and roses. The branches of the tree overhang at least one-fourth of my garden and it hasn't killed anything yet.

My friend Lali (Begoniacrazii in DG) lives in the middle of a black walnut grove, so everything she grows is growing under black walnuts.

Here's a picture of the trunk of my tree to give you some idea of its size. Those aren't mini-pots hanging from it and standing near it. The one to the left of the tree is a 5-gallon container.
