I removed this wonderful full grown tree last year and I'll admit it was always a love/hate thing i.e. great shade and privacy but what a bother! Never have I seen a tree produce soooo many nuts that were everywhere, and we have a slew of squirrels. Also, my neighbor was thrilled I nixed the walnut since it was on our property line and she's already nuts. I took the tree down over a year ago and am in the process of doing 2 really large Cleveland select pears on either side of the remaining stump which is now a base for a planter (hey, it was flat!). My question is, from what I've pulled off the internet these trees should be ok dealing with the juglone that will remain in the ground for years to come. Now,someone tell me these will be fine so I can sleep at nite. I wanted fast growing, flowering trees and saw that my choices were rather limited because of the juglone problem. Any thoughts on that would be really appreciated if only just to make me feel better. By the way, I'll be posting pics of my gardens sometime soon, or soon as there's something green, that is! I'm very proud of the fact that it shows what can be done with a small city lot. Regards from a "newbie", can't wait to hear your thoughts on my tree dilemma!
