Here's a bit from the University of Tennessee. It's interesting that it's apparently one of those trees that give off chemicals that inhibit other plants from growing. Allelopathy is really an interesting trait that gives a plant a competitive advantage. Plants develop a lot of traits to give them an advantage.
