Does anyone here have any actual experience growing the large flowering hyacinths near a black walnut tree - - to warn me against.

I wasn't planning to, but bought some Hyacinth bulbs on clearance at Menards. I'm not really into planting them, but just recently moved a short row of peonies that seemed to be affected by the black walnut tree. When I had originally planted the peonies 10 or more years ago, the walnut tree wasn't as tall and leaning.

To save having to do a lot more digging, I'd love to just plant the hyacinth bulbs where the peonies were.

It has been several years, but at my previous home there were black walnuts all around and one in a large bed. I had hyacinths and other bulbs in that bed and they didn't appear to be bothered.

Thanks Neal. I know my daffodils don't seem to mind. Some plants are real fussy about it, and others are not. Even the peonies tolerated it, but I could see a decline in the plants, and they didn't bloom anything like the ones at the other end of the garden. I guess I will soon find out. I know I will look forward to the blooms in the spring.
