Hi folks. Just joined forum and am excited to pick some green brains. We have a steep bank that is very hard to maintain, especially for someone with some age-related mobility issues. I'd like to plant some flowering bushes there, especially a couple of butterfly bushes, that would take up some space and cut down some maintenance. The only issue is that there's a mature black walnut growing back there. Does anyone know if a butterfly bush can grow around a black walnut? I know some people don't like butterfly bushes because they're not native, but many of the plants growing back there are noxious ones. At least a butterfly bush would provide some color and cover for birds. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Larry
