No, it is not bad to have a walnut tree near a garden, but it is bad to put a garden near a walnut tree. At least a black walnut tree such as we have here in Ontario Canada. The tree, juglens nigra, exudes a toxic substance called juglone which will stunt or prevent growth of many plants. For this same reason NEVER use the wood for areas where horses may be kept. A horse will gnaw at the wood and the walnut wood is toxic to the horse and you will have to have the animal destroyed. It can live through sometimes, but the amount of suffering is too much. If one acquires shavings to be used for animal bedding, be sure to ascertain that there are no walnut shavings amongst the rest. sorry, I didn't realize that I had to sign in...the Captain

Is cutting a tree superstious?

Actually, many cultures do hold superstitions to cutting down trees! Some of them include beliefs such as cutting down a tree near a visiting place will render the individual paralyzed, bad luck for eternity to anyone cutting an oak tree,and bad luck for cutting an "elder tree." Superstitions with trees in general include beliefs such as falling from an elm tree will result in a shorten life expectancy, the devil will take anyone away who sleeps under a fig tree, sleeping under a walnut tree will result in one becoming unsuccessful, sleeping by an olive tree will make one sleepy, sitting under a malburrey tree will render one paralyzed by a demon, and sleeping in under a large, old tree, is supposedly not good for the future. Hope this helps!

Is it okay to plant Clematis near a tree so that it grows up the tree ie as if it were a trellis?

No. Do not let anything grow on you tree as if it were a trellis. The viney plant will eventually block the sun from the tree and it will die. The above answer is correct. Don't plant anything at the base of a tree that will climb the tree. Although Clematis is not as bad as ivy, you do not want to do anything to endanger the tree by taking water, or sunlight away from it.
