  Any suggestions of what to grow under a mature Black Walnut tree that won't make collecting the fallen fruit impossible? I've found dozen of lists online of "jungalone tolerant" plants, but many of the suggestions don't make sense to me - it doesn't seem like a good idea to plant a sugar maple under the canopy of another tree, tolerant or not! Right now there's a patch of black raspberry and some rhubarb; the remainder is dusty wasteland speckled with the remnants of lawn grass. Sudbury, MA.

  Dear Kamereone, this is a question for the horticulture department at the New England Wild Flower Society. I suggest you email the horticulture department (nursery@newenglandwild.org) and ask this same question. They may be able to assist you. Good luck!
