Title: Re: [NAFEX] autumn Olive allelopathy?
I'd trade it for the Himalaya blackberries we have, any day.   Wish someone could find a plant that was totally allelopathic to the berries.   I'd plant it by the acre.

Autumn olive is becoming a troublesome invasive exotic in some places.  Yes,
the blossoms smell great, and the fruit is useful or at least helpful to
wildlife.   But it can take over !

I wonder whether it is truly allelopathic.  It grows fast and forms a thick
canopy; I bet it simply robs other plants of water, nutrients, and light.  
No toxic exudates needed.
