Black Walnut - What Plants Can Thrive with Them!?!?

Our direct experiments and plantings spread out over roughly 10 years in a VERY Walnut influenced area has shown us that the following plants seem to 100% be capable of living if not thriving with Black Walnut: Paw Paw - top tier Black Cap Raspberry Elderberry (seemingly both American and European) Honey Locust (Black Locust observed to be fully happy as well, River Locust is suspected to be) Wild Grapes (they grow incredibly well ON the Walnut, still a question if cultivars would work well) Mint family Goumi and Autumn Olive American Persimmon Hazelnut seems OK and holds on, we’ll give it an honorable mention American Plum and Mulberry are both reported to be very well adapted, but we haven’t tried them enough to comment...
