Forum: Pecans And Cohabitors

Pecans and cohabitors

4 responses

KP starts with ... Hi, I am constantly reminded that Pecans are SO alleopathic, but googling seems to suggest that a number of plants will grow happily with them. We have Pecan (cape fear) and Pecan (shoshonii) planted near syzygiums and macadamias and bamboo - all of which are barely 1m tall at the moment (other fruit trees are at least 10m away). Can anyone suggest if these trees will suffer re proximity to the Pecan? chees, KP	About the Author KP Atherton Tablelands 27th July 2011 10:35am #UserID: 5591 Posts: 3 View All KP's Edible Fruit Trees

KP says... Ady, you should be okay with teh mulberry I think. I did read that mulberries are okay under black walnuts- which the pecan is related to - and as the pecan is less alleopathic than walnut...one can but hope!

KP says... Thanks Ccs for the links, I am now tempted to tempt fate with my trees given that Pecan juglones seem a lesser evil than those attributed to many of its relatives. In about 5 years or so, I may remember to give an update re nearby tree health! cheers KP	About the Author KP Atherton Tablelands 3rd August 2011 10:39am #UserID: 5591 Posts: 3 View All KP's Edible Fruit Trees
