Allelopathic plants and trees #453976

Asked May 14, 2018, 5:00 PM EDT

Is there a list of allopathic plants and trees for home owner and landscape designer reference that you can share with me? I'm new to the subject and seek help in avoiding costly mistakes of growing plants and trees incompatible with themselves.

Black walnuts are most commonly noted for their allelopathic properties, but other trees such as hickories and Tree of Heaven produce allelopathic chemicals as well. https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/walnut-wilt-juglone-trees-and-shrubs
Here is a good list from the University of Minnesota Extension showing known allelopathic species and the plants whose growth they suppress. http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/landscaping/implement/trees_turf.html
