With the play we were getting on this walnut/Celtis guilding, I thought I
might just throw out there this season's observations on what does and does
not appear to grow under sugarberry trees (Celtis laevigata).
 
Does Grow under Celtis              
Goats
Poultry (both do very well on the tree's products, as might humans from what
I hear)
Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)
Cherry laurel
Ligustrum (somewhat "invasive" but has medicinal qualities too)
Other common privets
Yaupon holly
Nandina
 
(A lot of this is pre-existing onsite, but one never knows what information
another might be after; I don't want to pass unnecessary judgement on these
species.)
 
Does not grow under Celtis
Figs
Tea/camellia (these first two did fine until the late summer sugar drop)
Mints
Grass/bamboo
 
Time to remove some plants!  Too bad it can't be my neighbor's sugarberry....

I first heard about ecosystem theory (and, hence, systems theory) in sixth
grade and immediately felt I understood whole systems on an intuitive level. 
However, in the years since I haven't ever really tried to go deeply into
systems theory, despite reading a few books on the topic, majoring in ecology
in college, taking and teaching permaculture courses, and doing permaculture
design.  In any case, I have observed on this permaculture list during the
past few weeks reinforcing (positive) feedback loops form and dissolve
repeatedly, in the form of escalating unskillful speech.  There has been some
talk about using permaculture principles to try to create more useful
communication, but the lack of such practice seems to indicate that I am not
the only one with only a rudimentary idea of how systems work.  Ideally, the
list moderator would be able to observe these loops forming, and introduce
other elements or pathways to guide them towards beneficial
communication.  Instead, the moderator has actually added to the reinforcing
loops, making the situation worse.  It is very frustrating to see the
permaculture community practice the same dysfunctional behavior as in
mainstream society, though I do recognize that it could be much worse and
that many people are making efforts to be more skillful in their
communication.  I guess I am just offering an observation.
