[NAFEX] black walnuts and pawpaws

In October I planted two seedling pawpaws in a sheltered but sunny  
location down near the creek. There are many young black walnut trees  
in the area. The two pawpaws are in a clearing, but we did cut down a  
couple of small black walnuts to make room for them.

Will they be OK in the vicinity of the walnuts? I'm wondering whether  
I should plant a grafted pawpaw near them in the spring. I wouldn't  
want to lose my investment in the grafted tree if the walnuts are  
going to make it impossible for the trees to thrive.

thanks,
