Does anyone have experience growing dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) near walnut trees? Pretty much everything we plant has to be tolerant of the walnut's toxicity (juglone) since we've got so many of them. I love those dawn redwoods.

If no one else chimes in....

I have two dawn redwoods in my yard and a number of walnuts but they are not particularly close together.

The "Ogon" is closest, about 100 feet from the nearest black walnut at the same elevation and 175 feet downhill from three others.

Every fall I mean to run an experiment as folks always ask this question.

Good luck, I dig those Metasequoias also!

I have a Bald Cypress about 25-30 feet from a large walnut. It has survived but never thrived, and hasn't grown very well. I don't know if its the walnut or other issues.

I guess I have one comment -- Dawn Redwood grows so fast, if you plant one and it doesn't do anything in one or two years, you would probably be safe to assume it's the walnut (if all other conditions are right), and could probably move it elsewhere if that were an option.
