Black Walnut guild

I have several huge black walnuts on my property and I want to guild one in the front yard and create a forest garden off it.    Its about 50-60 ft right now with 2 apples just out from the dripline on the north side and a few black locust maybe 60 ft away on the north side.    i read the guild in gaias garden and that seems to be what most folks reference in the info I have found.  Except of course fo so many people saying the tomatoes don't work.

Anyway I plan on using persimmon, mulberry, serviceberry, jerusalem artichoke, mullein (its their already)


Also maybe goji, goumi, elderberry,

I was wondering if anyone had tried korean bush cherries or nanking cherry  or possibly Jiougulan?


Also open to any other things you have seen work.
Blessings

there was a thread on here about planting under black walnuts in the past..I'll try to do a search for it..the page I had saved is no longer available.

Thanks Brenda,

I have seen a few similar lists from other universities as well.  I always find crossover in them....for instance one I just saw listed chokeberry as ok.....  I guess its a gray scenario.....

SO I am wondering if cherries do ok with it  would the bush cherries and nankins probably be ok as well?

thanks for that list

Here is an article and listing from NCSU:

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/fletcher/staff/rbir/blackwalnutcompanions.html

My dear ol pappy didn't know you wudn't sposed to plant maters near a black walnut.

Ignernce is bliss I reckon.  And since I already knew that bliss is fried green t'maters then I'm cipher'n that ignernce must mean that t'maters'll grow under a black walnut tree as long as you don't know that they aint sposed to grow there. 

Damn Greeks and red necks!

When creating a guild around a walnut tree or planting trees nearby the walnut tree, you need to keep in mind that black walnuts are toxic to certain plants and trees.  Black walnuts contain a chemical called juglone and is most concentrated in the hulls of the nuts and the roots.  It is even advisable not put the leaves and twigns on raised beds for mulch.  The toxic effects of the tree can extend 50 to 80 feet from the tree.  Plants that are sensitive to black walnut develope yellow leaves and are stunted in growth.  Apple trees are sensitive to juglone.

I periodically peruse the Yank version of the PRI site, www.permaculture.org and they've recently followed through on a promise to post the "best of the Drylands Permaculture magazine".  Yay.

Anyhow, I noticed this article from that magazine about black walnut guilds and thought you might be interested:
