Sorry group, my question was meant to ask "do you have any info on a 
symbiosis between PERSIMMON  and black walnut" not Paw Paw.

The Society of Ontario Nut Growers  book states, p. 114:

"Where Evelyn persimmon grows in a walnut grove it is two weeks 
earlier (to ripen fruit), than where it grows in the open. Anecdotal 
information on persimmon intercropped with black walnut is 
accumulating. The microclimate set up by black walnut is beneficial 
by wind reduction, diffused light through an open foliage, deep roots 
drawing up moisture, plus persimmon seems to like increasing pH and 
juglone. Whether early ripening is microcliate induced, chemically 
induced, water stress induced, or induced by a root symbiosis, the 
research is left for tree crops study.

I'm wondering if fruit quality or quantity will suffer being grown in 
a diffused sunlight situation when grown under black walnut, or are 
the black walunts placed to the north of the persimmons.
