If you plant black walnut trees as a loooong term investment for the next generation, plant an ash tree alternating witht he black walnut trees. The ash is not much affected by juglones and it will grow a little faster and a little bushier than the walnut forcing the walnut to have a tall straght trunk with the first branches very high. In other words, you are making premo veneer log. When both trees are 25-30 years old, you cut all the ash and let the walnuts enclose the canopy.

"Grandaddy's apples on the mountain side,
Gone, gonna rise again.
He planted the trees just before he died
Gone, gonna rise again.
I guess he knew he'd never see
Red fruit hanging from the tree
But he planted them for his children and me
Gone, gonna rise again."
