Uses: The very bold, decorative leaves make it an excellent ornamental tree for planting in parks and large gardens. Good shade tree. Grown for its edible nuts. Site Requirements Special Note: Juglans roots produce chemicals called juglones which are very toxic to certain other plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries, peonies and solanaceous crops (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes). Most of the toxicity is limited to within the drip line of the tree, but the area of toxicity typically increases outward as the tree matures.
