Similarly one may ask, what can you not plant near a walnut tree?
Avoid planting vegetables that are sensitive to juglone, such as asparagus, cabbage, eggplant, peas, peppers, potatoes, rhubarb and tomatoes.
Furthermore, do walnut trees kill other plants? In most cases, the damage caused by black walnuts to other plants is a combination of the presence of juglone in the soil, and the competition for light, water and nutrients. However, juglone can cause severe damage and even kill solanaceous crops (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).
