Black walnuts exhibit a trait known as allelopathy, which discourages the growth of other plants in the immediate vicinity by releasing a plant toxin through the roots. Since neighboring plants would compete for limited resources like light and water, this trait is advantaeous for the black walnut tree.

How do black walnut trees reproduce?

The black walnut is like the other nut trees in that the nuts are the reproductive "unit" the tree grows and drops. Plant a black walnut, and (if conditions are acceptable) a new tree will sprout and grow. If the nut can roll away from the parent tree a bit, it will have more room to grow. And if an animal helps with a bit of transportation to improve dispersion, so much the better.
