Black walnut is susceptible to thousand cankers disease, which provoked a decline of walnut trees in some regions. Black walnut is allelopathic, releasing chemicals from its roots and other tissues that may harm other organisms and give the tree a competitive advantage, but there is no scientific consensus that this is a primary competitive factor.

In 1926, instances of apple tree damage caused by both Juglans nigra and Juglans cinerea (butternut) trees were reported in northern Virginia. [4] Certain apple tree varieties displayed varying levels of resistance to walnut toxicity. In 1926, it was observed that walnut trees in alfalfa fields resulted in crop death, while grass remained ...
Myth: You Can't Grow Anything Near a Black Walnut Tree. Truth: While the roots of black walnut (Juglans nigra) do release an allelopathic chemical known as juglone that inhibits the growth of some ...
Besides their chemical content, the spiny leaves may also cause mechanical damage to the body. Iris sibirica: Siberian iris, Siberian flag Iridaceae: Most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction ...
Thousand cankers is a recently described disease and its involvement in tree mortality apparently is also recent. The first published note involving black walnut die-offs that likely can be attributed to TCD occurred in the Espanola Valley of northern New Mexico in 2001.
Both plants are found in parts of the United States, and their sap, “in combo with moisture and sun,” can cause irritation, burning and scarring if touched. ‘Don’t touch these plants ...
Allelopathic interactions are an important factor in determining species distribution and abundance within plant communities, and are also thought to be important in the success of many invasive plants. For specific examples, see black walnut (Juglans nigra), tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), spotted ...
