_Black Walnut Toxicity_ 
(http://www.wvu.edu/~Agexten/hortcult/fruits/blkwalnt.htm)       
Because decaying roots still release juglone,  toxicity can persist for some 
years ... Other trees closely  related to black walnut also produce juglone,  
...

My Dad designed a  'hillock' in the center of a circular driveway - purposely 
because  there was a black walnut right at the top of the  rise.
 
He planted ivy as  ground cover all 'round the tree. It flourished there, 
even though  nothing else would grow - not even weeds.
 
The little hill,  and the ivy, and the tree, completely hid the house from 
view of the  street.
