# Walnut Tree Sensitive Plants

![Picture of Morgan Leverington](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/4909138971659e5d59fb9da00fdbfc29) By  [Morgan Leverington](https://www.cornerstonenurserydbq.com/blog/author/morgan-leverington)  ·   1 minute read

We have had several customers wonder what shrubs and trees we would recommend not planting near their walnut trees so we made a list of the typical plants carried here to steer clear of if you are trying to plant near a walnut tree. Juglone-sensitive landscape plants should be located away from black walnut trees to avoid damage. Raised beds near trees will help minimize toxicity, but care should be taken to keep leaves, twigs, branches, and nuts out of the bed. Black walnut leaves, bark, and wood chips should not be used as landscape mulch or composted on garden plants.

Perennials/Shrubs:

Peony

Asiatic Lily

Hydrangea

Lilac

Potentilla

Rhododendron

Mugo Pine

Yew

Trees:

White Birch

Crabapple

Magnolia

White pine

Norway Spruce

Silver Maples
