I felt like this was made for me! Just moved into a walnut crowded lot and started to realize why some areas foliage grew better. Started my research, learned walnuts were toxic and then it lead me here. AND I'm in Wisconsin! Perfect, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
We're so glad you found this helpful! There's a lot of plants that work just fine under walnuts. Here's a link to a handout we created for perennials that work as well: drive.google.com/file/d/1P1AIKvY8EaSD8kiMvLnN1uTnamdWeUk7/view?usp=drivesdk
Many of the plants you suggest are invasive in the Great Lakes area. They crowd out the native plants that Great Lakes pollinators depend on for nutrition.
As of today, none of the evergreens discussed in this video are considered invasive to Wisconsin and many are actually native and nativar species in the Great Lakes region. (Here is a link to a list of invasive plants in Wisconsin, as published by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: dnr.wi.gov/topic/invasives/documents/wi%20inv%20plant%20field%20guide%20web%20version.pdf ). We never condone the use of invasive plants and encourage the planting of native species whenever possible. We thank you for bringing invasive species into the discussion, and if you have further questions about invasive evergreens or other plant species in our area, we'd be happy to answer them.
I tried to plant an arborvitae hedge near the black walnut twice and out of all of the Arborvitae that I planted only two have survived. They are all the way at the ends of the hedge row. I am in PA, zone 6. I don't believe that they are tolerant of juglone, So far in the 7 years on this particular property I can only grow yucca under the black walnut trees. 😣

Thank you for your info! :)
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
We have a mature bald cypress just 20 feet from two mature black walnuts. They are definitely tolerant of juglone. :)
So far cypruss, gold arborvitae, and poplar have been unaffected by black walnut
