Subject: [nafex] Planting in a sassafras zone
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:48:07 -0800 (PST)
Recently I took down a medium sized sassafras. In spite of some annoying root
sprouts, I was set to plant a replacement tree until I read that sassafras,
similar to black walnut, blocks competitors via allelopathy. How do I
remediate the area? Is it simply a matter of killing the sprouts, or do
whatever toxins sassafras releases stick around in the soil? Fragaria
virginia is reportedly resistant, but what else would grow there?
