[QUOTE="DadF, post: 86107, member: 3458"] The toxin produced by walnut trees is especially hard on most evergreen trees both needled and broadleaf. It is also next to impossible to get tomatoes to grow in the affected soil and I would suspect that most members of the solanaceae family(potatoes, petunias,etc.) would be similarly affected. The good news is that it doesn't stay in the soil forever. If the tree is removed then the roots won't be alive much longer and that is where the toxin is produced. So in a couple of years the chemical should be pretty well broken down by microbial action and not be a problem in that area. [/QUOTE]
