We have found that black walnuts and azaleas do very well together, and
forsythia, and japanes maple, plus lots of different oriental and asiatic
lilies.  Siberian Iris love the semi shade and the toxins, as do Virginia
bluebells and some varieties of hosta and all daffodils and narcissus and
taro - colocasia-elephant ears.  Wineberries (WONDERFUL plant if critters do
not get there first), and european bittersweet (help - talk about invasive
in zone 7 Virginia))  Note on Autumn Olive, trees can be pruned so it
becomes a delightful forest one can walk through - "forest" sort of - 12' to
14 feet high under best of circumstances, but for a fragra nt or tasty walk,
8 or 9 feet works as most of the foliage forms thickly in the top   2 to 4
feet, leaving the area underneath for walking.

> An additional note about autumn olive, is that the flowers are beautifully
fragrant.  I used tlo destroy the stuff as a weed until one day I walked by
a bush I had missed which was in flower.  I was amazed!  Now we have the
fruit as well to add to its bounty.
>      I might add trhat I now have a small wood where only Autumn Olive
grows.  The plant is allelopathic, more so than walnut, so the ground under
it is beautifully clear.   Of course from another point of view, the
allelopathic qualities of the plant are just another reason to get rid of it
as it helps makes itself just that much more invasive.
