I have Hybrid American Chestnuts & Chinese Chestnuts growing within feet of Black Walnut, Buartnut & Carpathian Walnuts. A lot of the trees are more than 15 years old. Have not noticed anything awry other than a bit of attrition from Chestnut blight..

Hi All,

I seem to have encountered conflicting data and wondered if anyone out there had any experience, one way or the other, with this. In Edible Forest Gardens, in the list of plants negatively affected by juglones, on page 555, Castanea spp. are listed (chestnuts).

Yet, on another website: http://www.npr.org/programs/talkingplants/why/2002/walnutguide.html , Castanea spp. are listed as "tolerant" of black walnut toxicity.

So, does anyone have any real experience with both trees together. I have several chestnut seedlings and want to plant them in my yard, which is full of mature black walnuts. But I definitely don't want to lose the chestnuts...or retard their growth.

Please, share your experiences, if you have them. Thanks!

Lisa, in the Mo Ozarks, USA
