Subject: [NAFEX] black walnuts and pawpaws
Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:26:09 -0600
In October I planted two seedling pawpaws in a sheltered but sunny
location down near the creek. There are many young black walnut trees
in the area. The two pawpaws are in a clearing, but we did cut down a
couple of small black walnuts to make room for them.
Will they be OK in the vicinity of the walnuts? I'm wondering whether
I should plant a grafted pawpaw near them in the spring. I wouldn't
want to lose my investment in the grafted tree if the walnuts are
going to make it impossible for the trees to thrive.
thanks,
